Happy Birthday to my BLOG!
Saturday, July 16, 2005

So, I have been keeping this blog for a year. I've worked on projects, bored you all with stories of my kids and home life and all sorts of things. My audience seems to range from my family (Rex's parents and my parents primarily - who now miss it if I don't update every day!) to my good friends (Hi Anne!) to all of you on the Bloggers who Embellish and Artful Quilters Ring and some Crazy Quilting friends from other sources (Hi Louanne!).
Artistically I have learned heaps! Everytime I got stuck all of you were there. I appreciate all of the encouragement and comments that you all posted and I appreciate all of you who read and don't comment!
I don't really know what I enjoy about blogging, but it's become part of my life and I'm glad for it. Maybe it's just a great outlet for things that my 3 and 4 year old and husband aren't interested in...or it's just a great place for me to babble!
No one has asked me in a long time, but my first post is where I got my title...Cheryl Wheeler is a favorite singer of mine and this is one of her great songs...much to my dismay, it turns out most people (mostly family) thought I picked the title because it suits me (harrumph!) - I actually picked it more as a comment on society, but I guess (she admits VERY grudgingly) that it does fit me a little! ;-)
Thanks to all of you...I wonder what next year will bring?

When I started my blog in April, my husband (of thirty-two years of wedded bliss) asked if I wasn’t afraid I’d run out of things to talk about. I just gave him “the look” and he said, Oh, I guess not.” Hehe…
Best wishes, Mary-Frances, on your blog's birthday! And thanks for letting me be a part of this web ring. I’m learning so much from everyone.

Thanks for linking my webshots site! The comment above mine has a little to do with why I haven't started a blog yet.
I'd have comments on everything - my mind does wander (name of blog?) and I just really worry that I wouldn't be able to stay on topic.
But then I think that perhaps a blog would keep me more on task.
See what I mean?
hugs,
LouAnne

Hi M-F,
Yep, I check it out every day. Which leaves nothing much for us to email about. But I do owe you one - just be patient.
And congratulations on the anniversary!
Love,
Peter
