This masterpiece is the photographic work of a friend,
but it was a gift to me, so I’m using it for this week’s challenge.

Blogging is an “eggcellent” way to make so many wonderful new friends from all over the world! I’m glad I’m in this cyberspace family!

Okay, here’s my next list of favorite blogs to visit. Last week I gave you 12, and this week I’m offering 12 more. Each of these places has something unique to offer. Some are built around a primary theme or purpose, and some are more like a pot luck dinner, with a little of this, a little of that, and several varieties of everything else. Hope you find some new friends on these sites –as I have.

Happy Birthday to “Sandra Conner … By the Book”! Yes, it has been one whole year today. I know that because February 1st is my personal birthday as well. I had not deliberately planned to begin my third blog on my birthday, but it worked out that way. As I was posting my “About” page for this site last year, I thought how appropriate it was that I was giving birth to a new extension of myself on this particular day.
So mainly I just want to say, “Thank You!” to all of you readers out there who have made this blog an adventure and a great joy this past year. So many of you have become friends whom I cherish, and several of you are brand new acquaintances I am genuinely pleased to meet and will hopefully get to know very well in the near future.
I do appreciate the connections and communication with so many creative, talented people. It’s the creativity in each of us that fosters, nourishes, and edifies the creativity in one another. I have had the privilege this whole past year of being the recipient of your encouragement, your stimulation, once in a while your correction, and always your affection. That blessing adds greatly to my happiness as I celebrate this birthday.
I also want to specifically thank my life-long friend Terry Valley for the artwork that serves as my header photo this week. Terry is a professional photographer and graphic artist, and he created this piece and sent it to me for use on my blog.
Well, I’m ready for a party. I hope each one of you has a day as happy as mine.
My high school class at our 45-year reunion last year. A room full of friends who made a difference in my life in so many important ways.
