five...

Five years ago today, [this] crazy chick "wrote" (lol - fooling no one with that word) her first blog post.  Making tags and their photo tutorials has proven to be one of my greatest sources of personal creative fulfillment. Blogging has brought me many wonderful opportunities and new friendships too numerous to list. I am truly grateful for all the people I have 'met' over the course of the past five years. There really is no quick and easy way for me to express the magnitude of my gratitude to all of you, for all your support.  I’ll start by writing...THANK YOU! 

Thank you for “reading” my blog!

Thank you for following me on social media! 

Thank you for sharing my creative expressions with others!

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!  

...here is this year’s blogiversary challenge tag*.

*My (self-imposed) Blogiversary Challenge is to create a new tag using the same; stamp sets, colour palette and materials/thematic elements (hopefully getting more crazy/creative over time) as the ones I used in my first post and the first tag I made.
