My 2nd post for today … but … I just had to stop by to add a special post because I wanted to say a VERY BIG THANK YOU to all my bloggies (that’s “Andrea” for “Blog Buddies”) for your wonderful, support, love and loyal friendship. I am so thrilled to have reached this milestone … and I am so thankful for the wonderful friends that I have met through my blog.
A SPECIAL thank you to those who have taken the time to leave comments and who have shared my creative ups & downs … my family dramas … and have been here constantly to encourage. My bloggies are incredibly supportive and I feel very blessed to have met you all. I am so excited to still be blogging … and would never have expected to have met so many amazing people when I first began back in May 2008. Thank you for being part of this wonderful adventure!
Please stop and take the time to say hi today (leave a comment). It will mean a lot to me … and for all those who do … my way of saying thank you … is to pass on this award that I found recently. I will be sure to reply to your comments and I hope you all realise what a wonderful inspiration each of you have been to me. Enjoy this “Spreader of Love” award! Thank you for helping me to reach this amazing milestone!
OH … AND I WANTED TO ADD … PLEASE PAY THIS AWARD FORWARD ON YOUR BLOG … TO YOUR FAV BLOG FRIENDS WHO TAKE THE TIME TO LEAVE BLOG LOVE ON YOUR BLOG!

very busy at work. Keep up the fantastic “craftaliciousness” Have a great weekend. Cheers Donna Zammit

I always enjoy reading your comments! Take some time to relax & enjoy your coffee!!! Hugs xx
Congratulations Andrea. I have only just started following you but I can sure understand why you have so many followers. Keep up the wonderful work
– Hi Vicky! I am so thrilled to have met so many lovely friends in my blog life. I often stop by here when I am feeling a little “low” … just to get a pick me up! My blog friends are super important to me! Most I have never met … but feel very close to! Crafting is a wonderful bond to share! Thanks for being brave enough to say hi! Make sure you nab that blog award … and pay it forward on your blog! Hugs xx
I haven’t been following that long, but now that I am I must say I’m very excited when a new blog post comes through. With 3 boys (4, nearly 3 & nearly 2) I don’t get that much time to “craft” but most of you cards go into my ideas book, for the time when I’m not so busy(I can’t wait for that day). Keep up the FANTASTIC work XOXO
– Hi Rachelle! It is so nice to meet another lovely blog friend. I can say … it is the best thing about blogging! I am so thrilled that you find my cards an inspiration … and I do understand how busy that time of life is! Wow! 3 boys under 4! They must keep you very busy! 
There will be time for crafting soon … but in the meantime it is nice to be able to keep in touch by blog hopping and finding ideas. Thanks for taking the time to say hi! Hugs xx

Looks like you are still creating lots and blog even though the computer has not be kind to you. Take care and have fun.
