Hello everyone, it’s a fine day
and I’m celebrating,
because
today I got my 50th follower!
 |
| (photo taken at a family 4th of July party, 2010, before weight watchers and loosing 50 pounds ) |
has chosen to follow my
blog.
You have no idea how excited I get
each time
I check in and see a new follower.
It makes me feel like the things that
I create
are valued, not just by me,
but by other creative souls.
There is a reward in knowing that others
like
what you do.
I have met so many lovely
women
through my blogging, and I’ve just begun.
I love the fact that we can all come together and share our talents and
the simple things
in life that make up our daily joy.
I want to just give every one that follows
and every one that visits, too,
a great big hug.
Thank you, you make my days a little brighter.
**********************
Before I close this post I want to introduce you all to my
50th follower.
She is a
remarkable lady who lives
on a farm in Australia.
That’s what I love; meeting creative folks
from all over this
beautiful planet we all call home.
Jane calls herself “Earth Apple Jane”
and she
makes jewelry from potatoes.
Yes.
That’s
what I said, dig in the ground,
mash with butter and cream,
served with bacon
bits and chives,
POTATOES.
Check out her
delightful blog at http://earthapplejewellery.blogspot.com/
And no they are not shriveled up
pieces of compost . .
.
they are stunning, extraordinary,
mind-blowing works of art.
So, I invite you to visit Jane,
you’ll be
glad you did.
A HAVE A GREAT DAY,
THAT’S WHAT I’M DOING,
THANKS TO
ALL OF YOU!
Well, now I am number 51, cause I love your dancing style :)
ReplyDeleteLOL I do like to have fun at our family gatherings. This was a relay race that I planned for the 4th of July picnic. First each player had to knock a ball through four crochet hoops, next they had to put on the hat and hula skirt and dance around in a circle and finally put on an apron and chefs hat and frost and decorate a cupcake. After that the next person on the team would do the same. We had two teams of about twenty players (all ages). It made for some fun family photos.
DeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I feel so loved.
DeleteCongratulations, Connie!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much . . . I really thought it would probably take me a year to reach this point, so I'm on cloud nine.
DeleteConnie, thank you so much!! I am so honoured to be your 50th follower! I appreciate so much your enthusiasm for my potato jewellery :) I look forward to any of your friends dropping by to take a look, but also I love what you are doing. Your journals are brilliant, and you know what, I am so happy to have met you! This is the plus side to that daunting world of technology.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the next 50 ! Cheers from your 50th friend, Jane, from down underxx
Jane I must say ditto to you. I'm so happy to have found you. The friend that I told you about passed away in a car accident the very same year that her daughter made this necklace for her. She (the daughter) found me on face-book a couple months ago and friend-ed me. I'm going to give her your blog address. I think it will bring back a great mother daughter memory for her. Have a bright and wonderful day! Connie
DeleteConnie Connie Connie, :) Congrats! I also want to thank you for the amazing comment you posted on my blog today. Big (((HUGS)))! I'll be using it in tomorrow's post. ;)

DeleteHey girl,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to thank you for following my blog...I think we may have a few things in common...I am taking guitar lessons..have you been playing long??? Just today I had a thought to have my daughter do a photo session with my guitar. I have an old cowboy hat of hubby''s i could use. I have a denim shirt. I'm gonna do that tomorrow if I can.
Anyways, I'm glad to see you on my blog.

I started teaching myself to play about three and half years ago. Now I sing and play with two different groups. We play and sing at the county fair,different festivals, our farmer's market and at many nursing homes. I having so much fun. I've kind of had this secret dream (ever since I was a little girl) to be a cowgirl. So, when I'm out at thirft stores I'm always on the lookout for cowgirl shirts to wear with jeans when I play. Those shirts are pretty spendy in the western wear stores, but I find slightly wore ones for around $2 each at our local Goodwill. It's fun to play dress-up cowgirl style. Have Fun, and lots of luck with the guitar.

ReplyDeleteThank you, loosing the weight was not fast like on TV it took a whole year, but in that time it taught me a lot about cooking light and paying attention to the little things we stick in our mouths without even thinking.
