As I started to write a thank you letter, looking back over the year in blogging, I wanted to let you know how much you mean to me!

Thank you Karen for the advice. I try to think about why I started blogging too but so much has changed since. I'm not even sure if I can remember why I started in the first place except that it was something to do! LOL!

I'm glad you've had a good year sharing so much, finding inspiration, and taking so many pictures! It's amazing how quickly it all goes by!

That was a blessed message dearest Karen...THANK YOU for the generosity that you have extended to us all in one form or another....all the lessons on life, the art, the paintings, the tips on how to tweak/improve things....you truly are a diamond in the crown of blogland. THANK YOU for all that you have taught me and for your most precious gift: FRIENDSHIP.

Happy New Year dearest, and thank you for your visit; it means a lot to me when people pop on over during a hectic time as this, when one is still traveling, unpacking and such.

GROSSES BISES!! Anita

Karen, I loved reading this late last night and I loved reading again this morning and I'm coming back to read it again. If you haven't seen Judy's post at My Front Porch, you might be interested in a gift that her children gave her. I think it would fit nicely in your home, too. :D (You'll know the one when you see it.)

Char said...

And right back at you Karen, it's been my pleasure, treasure. Happy New Year to you and yours, Char

Judy said...

Lovely reflections on the past year of blogging! And so nice to meet another friend of Vee's. Thanks for stopping by...and introducing yourself.

Its been too long since I have stopped and noticed this widget on your side bar.

You, my dear friend, have been a constant sorce of inspiration. I feel such a lovely feeling when I come by and oft times I hesitate to stop, because I know I could be rapped up in looking for perhaps a LONG time.

Thank you for being someone who reaches across the miles to share your gifts and talents.

Thank you for you kind thoughts about my sister and I will cherish them always.

Most Sincerely.
Claudia
