blah blah blahgging !!

Look at the kitty that came in the mail today.. Do you just love him?? I do! I recieved it from Judibird a very talented girl I met on flickr! We did a little 1:1 swap!

I wanted to blahg about blogging because Ive gone over the 300 posts mark now! we should get a little coin or something like they get at AA after theyve been sober for so long! heehee

I just have to say that there are the most wonderfully creative people out here in our blogland world... and the best thing about blogging is that we get to bump into them when we would probably other wise never have known that they existed!

Blogging enriches our lives and makes our great big world just a little smaller and brighter... I have gotten to know girls from canada, japan, singapore, italy, australia, Germany, spain, england, and turkey (I know Im forgetting some) And lets not forget the girls all across the states who all love to share their lives through the creativity of their blogs, through their stories, in their photographs and in their art. They inspire us, challenge us, and encourage us and pray for us! I recieved more love and support when I lost my precious old kitties this past year, from women all over the place, that knew exactly how I was feeling then I could have ever imagined. Sometimes its hard to keep up with all the blogs I love to visit and I'm always finding more and more that I want to read!!! There are sooo many out there!!Sometimes I can only stop by for a quick read through and dont have time to leave comments, but most of the time I do try to leave a thought or two, because who wants to blog if people arent reading and reacting to what we have to say!

sometimes when I'm reading a blog I think.. there is a person just like me somewhere out there documenting their days and thoughts into cyber space. And I wonder just who is this person that I'm reading about? If its a blog Ive been reading for a while, I can almost picture them doing their daily chores! I know they're living their lives as best as they can, loving their families, feathering their nests, wondering what to make for dinner, doing laundry, loving pretty things, being creative and wanting to connect with other women out here in this great big world. They all have ups and downs in their lives, some they share, most they probably dont. Some go off to work.. and I wonder what they do at their jobs.
Most of my friends dont "get" blogging at all. And, they think we're all goofy. (We probably are) But.. its ok.. cause we all know its fun to blog, and unless youre doing it, you probably wont understand it!

anyways, I'm just carrying on and on here arent I??? Are you still with me? I do often wonder why you ladies keep coming back.. I dont necessarily think i'm all that interesting! whatever it is, I'm glad you do!

SO.. in honor of my 300th post, I'm doing a giveaway! It'll be a teddy bear.. not sure what size, maybe tiny.. maybe big.. maybe in between.. but a bear it'll be. So leave a comment here.. and I will draw a winner monday night!

Oh, and the swaps I'm hosting, I just have to tell you again how thrilled I am with the girls that have joined so far! I may close the swap out early, so if youre thinking about it, you should make up your mind and join! will probably close it on sunday. For swap info click on badge!
