Can't Believe

I've been blogging since

June 2007
-  -  -
Brother, the time has just whizzed on by.


My first post was more than three years ago.


One Hundred Sixty Two Weeks Ago


I wonder how many words,
how many photos
I've posted.

What ever the numbers,

blogging is not only fun

but a great way to meet up with others with the same interests
from all over the globe.


In the beginning, art dolls and quilting were my main interests.
Being able to visit so many other blogs
my interests have widened
During the three years I've been blogging
some new interests now include knitting
- mainly sox . . . 2-at-a-time on one circular needle,
and crocheting,
things vintage,
things pink,
shabby chic,
retro,

and quilting.

One Thousand One Hundred Thirty Six Days

and I feel richer for knowing all of you

Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a Comment or two.

Forever.
