Thanks for the Honors!

Wow! I have been totally overwhelmed and greatly honored this week. Michele, Nancy M, Joy and Olga have all nominated me for awards. Thank you all so much! I certainly don't see myself in the ranks of the other nominees but it is certainly nice to know that I'm well thought of in the blogging community. I know I can't choose just a few other blogs to nominate in return - there are way too many to choose from - each informative, entertaining and unique in its own right. I remember when I first heard of blogging - I didn't understand the appeal and had no concept of the vision behind it. Only since starting my own blog last year have I begun to appreciate blogging's impact on our world. I am constantly amazed and delighted by the closeness of the stitching community worldwide. Blogging makes it possible to communicate with fellow stitchers all over the world, no matter where they live, what language they speak or what time zone they are in. We can admire one another's accomplishments and offer support in the challenges, we can comment and commend and most of all...we can get to know a bit about each one we "visit". AMAZING!!!! So, thank you, thank you, thank you to all of the blogging stitchers out there who share themselves with the rest of us!
