I had a few things I wanted to say to all of you. In this time of friends, family and giving, I wanted you all to know that during this past year you have all given me the greatest give I could ever have hoped for. The gift of yourselves. I never knew how much I would LOVE blogging when I started back in May. I have met so many women that I truly believe I can call my friends. You have all shared your stories with me, your creativity, your inspiration and probably most of all, your time. Thank you, Thank you , Thank you, To all of you who have left such sweet and wonderful comments for me. I sincerely apologize if I have failed to get back some of you. Life can get to be rather hectic at times, but I cherish each and every one. If you frequently come by, but don't leave me a note to let me know you've been here, thank you for spending part of your day with me. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas filled with lots of warmth and love, and SMILES!!!!! From myself and Jasmine and all the rest of my family...Merry Christmas!!!!

Hello Karen,
I so agree with you...I've only been blogging full time for about a year. Now I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't! I've met so many lovely ladies and the ties of friendship are sweet among us. To talk back and forth and the sending and receiving things back and forth is most fulfilling and has a depth to it that nonbloggers will never understand. :0)
I'm glad I met you this year and hope for many years ahead of fond friendship. And in 2010 you get to treat us to *Where Bloggers Create* again!! :0)
I hope you had a wonderful magical filled Christmas. I do know how hectic life can get and at times there is no way to keep up with comments but none the less they are so appreciated and mean the world.
Hugs,
Stephanie
It can really boggle the mid if you think about how many friends we've made over the past year - just by blogging. We know their favorite dishes, their favorite paint color. We've been invited into their homes and know some of their secrets. We definitely know all about their pets and where they went on vacation last year.
And now we can all sit back and say we literally have friends all over the world. people we want to spend time each day with, and without blogging, that would not be possible.
I think this is AWESOME!
And I am so glad I "met" you!
Have a safe and Happy New Year!
Hugs Karen!
Merry Christmas! Thanks for sharing your blog. I truly enjoy stopping by!
Karen, I just stumbled upon your lovely blog today...and what do I see?? you are a desert dweller, also!!! Somehow it feels so nice to 'meet' a neighbor'.....here. Love your cottage and it makes me feel like I am back in Connecticut again..
sigh
Beautiful blog and I have added you to my sidebar to share with my friends.
Happy Holidays Neighbor!!
