Good Morning

Hey Fellow bloggers,  I am writing this Saturday morning, thinking about how much I have missed my blog. It is amazing how a few days of not being on here chatting, and commenting around, how much I missed it.  The thing is, is when I first started, I was wondering how I was going to find the time to do it.  I remember thinking, "A blog, that would mean writing every day, or at least 2 times a week."  and who would really want to read it, let alone care about what I think, or say, but after losing so much of mycrafting supplies in the water in my basement this week that I realized, it was you guys that were the ones offering to send me some of your own supplies, not like my "friends" who are not in this crafting world, (who I do love very much) that were saying, "at least it was only crafting supplies" and when I was in my funk about losing my crafting supplies, it was you guys who were checking to see if I was doing o.k., and it was you guys who could tell just by my typing, that I was not, and I thought,  None of my "friends" offered to help replace things that got wrecked, they were the ones saying, well you have so much stuff anyway.  and then it hit me, "my own friends" did I hear what I was saying, "my own friends" how crazy was that to say, it was even crazier to hear.  What was the definition of a friend? I decided to look it up, but there was a quote, and it did not say who wrote it, but when I read it I immediately thought of you guys, my "scrappy friends" it was,  A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked. ...  If that doesn't describe each and every one of you, then I don't know what does.  After all, I don't know about you, but my blog is the exact place where I write without being judged, I can be honest about what I think, and feel, and I know that if I ask for your opinion, I know that you are going to give it to my truthfully.  My "blogger"  friends, have nothing to gain by lying to me, you guys (I hope) tell me the truth, because you guys all love what I love, and by telling me that maybe I should put yellow behind the pink, or maybe those polka dots, don't exactly go with that sympathy card, and that maybe I should not use that Peachy Keen winking face stamp on top of it. What I am really trying to say is that I am so grateful to have started my blog, and to have met such caring wonderful people who love to do, what I love to do, people who tell me what they honestly think, people who have nothing to gain by not being perfectly honest with me, people that I consider friends.  Thanks to you all for helping get me out of my funk.   Karen<3
