Thanks and Happy Independence Day!

I’d like to take a moment to thank everyone who has visited my blog and left a comment in my celebration Giveaway.  Remember, you have until July 9 to enter!  The “how-to’s” are in the previous post.  You have all been so wonderful and supportive!  I believe my Etsy shop is off to a good start, and I’m working hard over the long weekend to add many more items (lace and other things) to the shop, so check back often.

Thanks also to my dear friend Pam Kellogg for inviting me to be her guest blogger.  Through her, I’ve made several new friends.  And many of you, my regular readers, have discovered Pam and her wonderful talents and wares.  The community of artsy bloggers really is like a big extended family, and it’s great when we distant “cousins” can all get to know each other and become friends.

To my fellow “sistahs” in the U.S. - have a Happy Independence Day.  I know some are celebrating it on Saturday the 3rd, some on Sunday the 4th, and still others on Monday the 5th.  Whatever you do and wherever you are, enjoy good times, good health, and the love of family and friends.  We are so blessed  to live in the United States of America!
