It's been fun!

Hi friends and family,

I have been battling this decision for quite some time, but have decided that it's time for me to discontinue blogging.  According to my stats, I've posted 2214 posts, and had a shade over 200,000 comments! It's been SO much fun, but...

I have not posted since January. With no design team work, a terrible lung disease, and kids/grandkids that live many hours away that we like to visit, I just don't have the desire or time to do this anymore. 

I will still visit your blogs, dear friends! I love seeing your inspiration, and keeping in touch with you through our creativity.

As I sadly close this page in my book of 'Life', and open the next page, I plan to continue creating and sharing. I'm hoping to feel well enough this summer to teach a class or two again, and to have my local creative 'sisters' into our new home to craft with me. I will try to post creations on Facebook, and might even teach myself  to Instagram!

I'm just an email (mamagilliam@gmail.com) away, or a Facebook page away (Patti Gilliam). If I get an IG page up and running, it will be 'google-able' by my name, somehow. Please keep in touch when you can, and I'll try to do the same.

Thanks SO very much for following me for EIGHTEEN years of blogging! I've loved reading each one of your comments, but most meaningful of all has been the friendships I've found over the years. I have had readers/friends in Canada, Northern Ireland, France, Germany, and lots from the good old USA. Each of you have a forever place in my heart! Hopefully, I can continue to encourage you on your blogs, as you have me on mine over the years!

Hugs, love, and blessings in measures of LOTS!!!

Patti J.
