Look what I got in the mail today!
I met a wonderful new blog friend from Oregon, her name is Sheila. We just started emailing and sharing stories and found we had so much in common. She sent me a 'welcome to blogging' gift. Sheila designs and makes these adorable journals and postcards, I think they're sooo cute. I love the images she uses, these cute doll heads. She has a great blog that you can see here. I have never recieved a gift like this before, for no reason from someone I'm not related to or have never met in person. I've always read about how wonderful the blogging community is but never really bought it. Thought it was a bunch of hooey to make us non-bloggers feel left out. Ha! Anyway, turns out it's all true. I have had such a warm welcome from everyone and have met so many new friends already. You are all out there just waiting to help, encourage and advise anyone who asks. In honor of you and to thank you for everything I'm hosting my first 'Giveaway'. Leave me a comment and you'll be entered in the drawing. I will announce the winner on Friday. The prize is going to be one of my banners like this one that I'm selling on Etsy.
The message on the banner will be a surprise to be revealed Friday.

Your post is so right about the special bond there is in blogland. It has definitely filled a need that I had for friendship when I moved to a new place without knowing a soul!
