Cleaning up...

On Sunday I was in a strange mood.  I wanted to do something but not any crafting and not cleaning my house.  It was also quite cold outside compared to the previous week.  So I decided to go through my google mail and erase the multitude of old, spammy, or unnecessary to keep emails.  I was able to find a few patterns that I thought I lost in the fire and a few other things I had forgot about.  The best part though was the collection of comment notifications from this blog.  I can't tell you how happy it made me to read through the short notes that people wrote.  So I wanted to say thank you for all the insights and appreciation for what I've shared over the years.   Nothing else going on, just a gratitude post.
