Thanks to all of you who donated and bought Second Storie Sets after my post yesterday!
I reached my halfway point with what I needed to earn and I feel truly blessed and grateful.
(If you are wondering what I am talking about read here.)
There are still some available if you are interested.
I feel a burst of joy at the prospect that I may just be able to keep on doing all of this after all. Some days blogging seems crazy to me; the amount of time and effort it takes can be a lot. But days like yesterday remind me of why I do this in the first place-I am so lucky and thankful to be able to share my thoughts and images with an audience who enjoys them. THANK YOU!
Okay-done gushing for now.
I hope those of you in the States have a fun and happy holiday! Good weekend to the rest of you around the globe...



Phew, I'm so glad you still have some of the Sets available. I missed reading your post yesterday or I would have placed my order then.
We, your readers and supporters are the blessed and grateful ones. Thank you for sharing your gifts and time.
Glad to give a little back to you so you can follow your dreams.
