With all the Love I have received in Blogland.......
I am so humbled and overcome with gratitude that I am left speechless.
When I first was diagnosed, for a moment, I hesitated sharing the news as I didn't want to be the Debbie Downer of the blog world. "we used to go to Karin's blog for a laugh or two and maybe a cute gift tag.....but now all we do is cry. I'm heading over to Under the Red Roof. She's way more fun! Plus, she's got cool vintage wallpaper....."
But the reality is, to all those who know me, know that I'm a "bit" of an open book and there was just no way I could ignore this life altering portion of my world. I always have had a hard time defining my blog as it has been a mixture of art, family and snark. I'm not really a "craft" blog. But I'm not a "mommy" blogger either...... It's just a mixed bag of my life served up on a computer screen. And, because of that, I knew there was no way that I would be able to continue writing about my family while posting pictures of the latest crown I made without acknowledging the huge part of my life that had been forever changed.
What I didn't expect, however, was the huge outpouring of love, faith and strength that showed up on my doorstep and in my email box. It always seemed to arrive when I just needed it. I am so overwhelmed with gratitude that thank you seems so woefully inadequate. However, I would feel remiss if I didn't send out a personal thank you to each and every one of you. It's going to take me a bit of time but please know that I am penning (or typing as the case may be) them as we speak.......
I wanted to write this because it's taking me a bit longer than I expected to get to everyone. So until you get that personal, heart filled letter of thanks, please know that I love each and every gift and word written to me. All your words and good wishes have help keep me lifted above the waters of sadness and fear.
Thank you from the bottom of my grateful snarkfilled heart!
Oh.....Please remember.....if you are a regular reader, please let me know because this is what I'm giving away in my Regular Reader/Lurker Giveaway...........

I'm totally going "rogue" here in doing the separate drawings. I hope I don't get in big trouble from Lisa.......Also, you can leave you message here, instead of going back to the other post.
Thanks again everyone!!!! I'll talk to you soon!
