hello again.

hello.
just called to say hello.

(that Neil Diamond song came to mind as i began to type the words, silly huh?)


last year i decided, after lots of prayer, and with a lot of support from my dts, to take a blogging/creating break for personal/family reasons. i won't bore you with details, but i really needed to do it to adjust to some big changes for all of us.

over the last year, i slowly resumed creating and am creating full time once again and loving it, probably more than ever. during the last year, i received emails from wonderful friends and acquaintances inquiring if and when i would resume blogging. i have to share that those emails and friendship have meant the world to me, and i thank you with all my heart.


so i hope you'll visit me, share your thoughts, friendship, inspiration and stories with me.


and, what would a blog post be without at least a card, two or four? :)

with valentine's day on tuesday, i thought it would be fun to share a couple of valentine cards with you. i hope you'll share links to some you have created, i would really love to come and visit you too.

    Hi, Danni. I just discovered that you are back to blogging and am so happy. Yea!!! I had just returned to stamping/card making shortly before you took your break and was selfishly disappointed. I hope that your hiatus was everything that you needed and wanted it to be. It is always so good to see your wonderful creations. You have an amazing eye for design, especially pattern and color.
