2 year blogiversary giveaway...

I have been rambling on now for two years, today.
Before that I was what is referred to in Blogland as


a lurker.


I couldn't help myself...
there were so many incredibly talented people
that willingly shared their ideas with me, that I just had to visit them regularly.

 Then one day I got up the courage to hit 'publish'.
and that changed everything for me.

You all helped me to see things differently,
kinda like this light on the porch does for our visitors at night.

I have made some marvelous friends in Blogland and am ever grateful for all of you.
Some I have been able to meet this past weekend,
like Maggie and Barb.
Barb's story is kinda funny.
After she read my post about getting ready for the show,
she emailed me to say that she follows my blog and had in fact gone to the show last year,
and had shopped my booth!
She asked how to contact Jill so that she could get a booth
and there she was on Saturday morning setting up her fabulous artwork!
Barb needs a blog.
c'mon in Barb the water is fine!

I would love to meet all of you,
wow, that's quite a bucket list isn't it!

We could have a big party where we solved all of the worlds problems.

Sometimes a phone call between girlfriends can do the same thing...

thanks, Z!

We would eat delicious food that all of you wonderful cooks create,

and talk home decor like there's no tomorrow,

and well, we would have fancy table settings...

no paper plates allowed,

and repurpose all of the treasures that we picked up on the way to the party,

then we would take lots of photos of everything and everyone!

lots of photos...

we like our photos... :)

If you have made it to the end of this long post,

then you know the best is yet to come...
