If we weren't looking to connect we'd all still be browsing magazines, searching e-bay or counting stars at over at hgtv. I think decorating our homes is very personal so it makes sense our blogs will be too.<br />Hugs,<br />DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658368332496429493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-14501179142775002722010-01-16T22:36:02.289-06:002010-01-16T22:36:02.289-06:00Debra

We're not always entertaining, but as we grow, the need to entertain is overcome by the call to authenticity and excellence.

When I started blogging I only planned on showing some finished crafts and joining some crafting challenges. Now I just post a hodgepodge of things I feel like sharing and some of my creating.

I am a big gardener and I can't help but see the growth of a flower from seed to seedling to full-on bloom and on and on. We are those flowers. We must continue to nurture and prune to keep the flowers coming. So the bees, butterflies , hummingbirds and others stop and take on the beauty . The process is such miracle. <br />You keep on tending your garden. It is beautiful as are you. xolulu redstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11035436835098544667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-80381161527689445252010-01-15T14:55:32.829-06:002010-01-15T14:55:32.829-06:00Debra amor, I loved this post...to be honest when ...Debra amor, I loved this post...to be honest when I found your blog, I thought it was lovely, seeing all the beauiful pictures definately caught my eye...but reading your posts and learning about you is what kept me coming back...My Ita (grandma) used to say to me when I was younger and felt like such an ugly duckling..." Amor,Beauty is wonderful, it will make your heart skip a beat and can make you feel breathless...but after a awhile... even beauty gets tired and fades...It is then that you realize you want something with more sustance to hold your heart for the duration of this lifetime." I never understood that when I was younger..I just a few years ago started too..I guess I am a late learner...but it has been a great lesson. Thank you for sharing YOUR BEAUTY..Besos, RoseBellaRosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06247615084561033378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-20978588368123470912010-01-15T14:33:15.921-06:002010-01-15T14:33:15.921-06:00Hey Debra.

I can't believe where blog land has taken me. I only start about six months ago in July of '09. Before that I had no idea what blogging was and really couldn't understand the concept. Boy do I wake up fast once I got involved. It's been such a blessing. I know am enjoying commeraderie with so many lovely ladies, and even more important a way to study the word with others. <br /><br />Oh I'm like everyone else loving the crafts, the beautiful homes and all the pretties but it's so nice to get past all that and get to know the real people. Thanks for being such a wonderful friend to me. Thanks for encouraging my growth. I look forward to growing with you as a prayer partner and a friend!!! God bless you.<br />Warm Winter Hugs, Tracy :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643279791342765171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-46037795316245562332010-01-15T13:48:54.792-06:002010-01-15T13:48:54.792-06:00You have a wonderful way with words and a special ...You have a wonderful way with words and a special way of sharing from your heart.

It lets me know that none of us are perfect. I love the bloggers who can admit to their imperfections. Makes them more human & makes me feel normal. So for me, I won't mind if you just want to talk sometimes. But I still do love seeing your stuff. <br />KimKim @ Starshine Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09798836202949854375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-57077676010041209652010-01-15T13:19:32.699-06:002010-01-15T13:19:32.699-06:00Debra, This is so true.

It makes us know we are not alone. I love projects but I also am at a place right now that I just don't have the energy or desire to keep up with it all. Keep posting your thoughts and know you are not alone. Hugs, PamPam @ Fripperyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08694536982173963267noreply@blogger.com
