Thankful Thursday

One of my favorite people in Blogland, Rhondi from Rose Colored Glasses is hosting Thankful Thursday. For a long time now Rhondi has posted what she is thankful for every Thursday, and now she has invited us to join her.





My creation

Today I am thankful for the lovely friends that I have met since I first started Blogging.

The Adventures in Blogland


The Blogland DiariesSo many places and resources to explore, and the best part is connecting with so many wonderful people.


Rhondi asked me to simply put text to her lovely photograph for Thankful Thursday. It was my pleasure. She sent me this lovely book and card as a thank you. Thank you Rhondi.

My creation


Mary Isabella of Daisy Bouquet introduced me to Play It Forward on her blog, and because I left a comment on her special post, she sent me this pretty tea towel and these grannie squares made by Mary's mother-in-law fifteen years ago, and this pack of Wildflower seeds. Her mother-in-law has gone to be with the Lord, and I will cherish these hand-made pieces even more. What a surprise to see this package in my mailbox. If you haven't already, you must stop by and visit her, she always brightens my day.

My creation
When I plant these wildflowers and they begin to bloom, I will be reminded of the friendship that has bloomed over this year of blogging, Mary.

My creation

Every day I receive wonderful encouraging words and get invited to all sorts of blogging fun. I am so thankful for the wonderful people I have met in Blogland. I am thankful for all of you.

Stop by Rhondi's place to read about other Thankful Thursday posts today.

I just did a scroll down and read someof your older posts. You are truly talented in many areas. Very nice blog; I am glad Rhondi started Thankful Thursdays because I am stretching away from the garden and food blogging world, as I have many interests.
I will stop by again soon, to see what else you posted about.
