Good Morning to everyone,

A few weeks ago I found Vicki's blog 2 Bags Full. Vicki came up with an idea for meeting new people and to help grow our blogs. Thank you Vicki!

Here is a little something about myself that I wanted to share with you. I am happily married to my best friend and husband. We have been together 21 years and married for 17 years. He is my true love. We have one son 17 years old and two cats.

My favorite thing to do is Cross Stitch. I learned on my own. I ran into a friend from High School and found out she was pregnant with her first child. I went to my local store looking for something to make her. I found a stamped cross stitch kit. I stitched it up and my husband picked out a frame and mat. We presented it to her. The look on her face and admiration of my thoughtfulness was what started me on my journey to stitching. I've been stitching for 20 years.

Through blogging I have met the nicest, warmest, and caring friends. These are the friends that are there for you when your having a great day or a bad day. They are the reason I love my blog. I want to "Thank" each and everyone who stops by and reads my blog. I appreciate your love and support.

Hugs,

Carolyn

I taught myself too with blog friend encouragement. Now, I wouldn't trade it...or the friends.

Hi Carolyn -
What a nice blog you have! I found you through the blog party. It's so thoughtful that you wanted to make something for your friend...you have a kind heart! I can't wait to see more of your projects! :)

The many friends you make through blogging is what makes blogging so much fun.

I just saw your "Spiritdancer" and it is beautiful. I have it in my "to do" pile. Maybe someday!!!

Have a great weekend and happy stitching!!!

Happy Partying!

what a great way to start your stitching hobby. I've given away so many pieces too, there's nothing like a hand made gift.

Oh, thank goodness I'm already following you. I have been having so much fun at 'Grow Your Blog' party that blogger is asking me word verification if I want to follow a blog. It's like a police on the 'check-stop'.

Have fun at the party!

Evalina, This and that...

Everything your stitching looks great. Isn't beading fun on a large piece.

Isn't that the best kind of gift?! Something homemade?! Glad you started stitching and bringing smiles to everyone's faces :D

Hi Carolyn,

It is so nice to meet you. Your blog is lovely and you are very crafty with your cross stitch. I remember the days of making cross stitch pillows and pictures. It just doesn't seem like I have the time anymore. I'm still making my way through visiting everyone from Vicki's Grow Your Blog party. I hope you will stop by to say hello.

I already follow your blog, but wanted to say hi from the blog party...it's taking me awhile to get through that long list of blogs, but it is such fun!
