Sincere Apologies......

I finally worked out how to access my Spam Inbox and discovered several messages there.  I am so sorry that I hadn't found them sooner - most of them were yours, Sandie, and I have now published them.  And I went to have a look at your blog - to find I was already a follower lol!  I had already found it!  And I love it. As I've commented previously, with you living where you do and us planning a future trip down south in the future, it might even be possible for us to meet if you are available at the time.


And now it is time......
.....to keep my end of the bargain!  I never, ever, dreamed that it would reach 100 followers so quickly!  And now it is 101.  Kathi, you are correct, you are the 100th follower.  And Marlene, you are the 101st.  As I've said before, I am honoured indeed when people choose to become followers of this blog, and share my mini journey.  I've known  Marlene for quite a few years now; we met through our online group Petitpointers and she is a supportive and encouraging friend.  And I have explored Kathi's blog and have been intrigued and inspired by her creativity and imagination. 


 I have spent a fair amount of time lately looking at many of your blogs, and once again I've been so impressed by the talent you have.  It humbles me more than ever that you have become followers.


And now - I am working on the gifts for the give-away.  They should be ready for this day but they are not.  I will have them finished as soon as possible.  It is just over a week until I have to have the sermon ready and not being a preacher it does take me ages, but I will be working on the gifts in between.  The cross stitch is on hold until the gifts are finished.  I know I've said it several times, but the photos will be posted as soon as I can do so.
