My Two Year Blog*a*ver*sa*ry!

This picture was taken this past weekend

while I was in New York City!

I was walking in SOHO

and I was thinking about my two year

blog anniversary!

I was thinking about what I wanted to relate

to my friends, my followers and to myself

about just what my blog has meant to me,

it will be hard to put into words.

I printed my first year into a book with Blog2Print,

so I would always have a keepsake,

looks like I will now have a second edition.

I really didn't believe I would get this far.

So have a seat my friend, let's get started.

When I began my blog two years ago,

I felt it would be all about the things I would be creating,

sharing ideas and techniques I had learned.

As time has evolved, my blog has grown into so much more,

more than I ever expected.

Gentle Threads has taken on a personality and life

 all on it's own.

It is a place I come to for comfort and expression.

I feel safe and at home here.

I have grown in my writing abilities,

I learned to manipulate my E-Blogger skills,

oh my, I didn't even know how to set up a blog.

I have learned to share my thoughts from the heart

and put them into words.  I have fallen in love

with writing poetry.

 I have developed soul sister friendships

that I cherish with each and everyday!

I enjoy following  their blogs and hearing

their thoughts each morning with coffee.

I have enjoyed the comments given to me

and they have gone 

straight to my heartstrings.

 I am truly grateful for each and everyone.

There is so much love and light 

that is shared in this creative community,

the blessing has been all mine.

I look forward to beginning my third year.

I want to grow even more, share even more

and learn even more, 

I know it is possible.

I don't know what is in store in my 

creative world,

but I know it will be an adventure,

I am so wide open to it all.

Thank you for your support, your love

and your following.

This blog world is amazing, it is heartfelt and it is so very special.

So many adventures, so many different experiences to share,

so many flavors is this life of ours, 

all for the choosing.

I am a creative girlie

in love with all that is around me,

eyes wide open . . . 

to see, to experience and to grow.

I look, I listen, I watch, taking it all in.

I can't wait for the next 

creative experience and sharing it

through pictures and words.

Come along with me 

as I enter into my third year

of blogging

won't you???

all of these photos were taken during

my trip to NYC last weekend

Always taking photos,

looking for just the right subject,

how I love my camera.
