40,000 Page Views!!!

Wow!  Today is a milestone.  My blog has had 40,000 page views!  I am blown away!

I started this blog to share my scrapbooking, my photography, some recipes, art journaling and mixed media.  It is so much fun to blog and it is also a way to record this creative journey that I am on.

Two years ago, I was having some personal issues and a special lady that has been my motivator and friend, suggested that I start creating and see where it takes me.  Well I am blown away to say the least. It was very intimidating to blog and to apply for design teams and submit to magazines.  She also suggested that I put myself out there and also to go to crops.  The big assignment was to go to Hawaii on a scrapbooking cruise.  I did know some of the ladies, but my family wasn't with me and if you really get to know me, I am very shy in person and have a bit of social phobia so that is probably one of the biggest things I have done.  I survived and overcame that fear.  Somehow it is so much easier to hide behind a computer than to be face to face with people.

Sylvia has changed my life and the way I look at life.  She has helped me to see the beauty and to live each day to the fullest.  That is why I named my blog "Love The Journey".

Thanks for supporting me and my blog and I hope you come back often and read my blog.  I really love to inspire people to do what they enjoy and  be creative.

Have a wonderful day!

I started my blog about a year ago and it has gone from a few views per week to about 500 views per week just in the past three months.  Wow!  I am so honoured!  Blogging is my little contribution to the creative world of scrapbooking and other creative things that I love such as photography, mixed media, art journaling and cooking and baking.  It has helped me to inspire and reach out to other people who are passionate about being creative.

I really appreciate everyone that views my blog and leaves comments and I always enjoy making new friends who share the same love about being creative.
