I enjoyed reading your blog and I'm a new follower on google and BlogLovin'. I've been away from blogging for quite a few months and I'm not sure if I'm ready to jump back in, but I love writing and blogging sure is a nice outlet for that. And I love thrifting and creating so I intend to do lots of that in this new year. I'm happy to hear you found yourself a good man. I know they're out there but God hasn't brought one my way yet :) I look forward to following along on your adventure. Isn't heaven going to be grand? We'll get to meet all our lovely blog friends in person. I can't wait ... Thanks again for your message and Happy New Year to you.<br />LynnLynn at Cottage and Creekhttp://www.cottageandcreek.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915998197494794177.post-22947734590133696862014-01-04T10:58:30.946-08:002014-01-04T10:58:30.946-08:00Thank you, Joan.
