BLOGTOBERFEST - Day 31 - And That My Friends Is That


I have learned that there is a great deal of joy in this world
blogging has taught me that
from the connections and friends I've made
from the support, encouragement and inspiration that I've given and received
from the laughter and the tears

To have a place to share my story,
and to be invited to share in others
has been such a gift
In this mirror I have found
the writer and artist that I always knew was there

Thank you for joining me on this wonderful journey
I look forward to our paths continuing to cross
If I don't see you around for a while
I'm sure I'll see you on October 1st next year!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My goodness, I forgot my manners.
Enormous thanks to the ever fabulous SuperPops,
awesome badskirt and superb Chunky Chooky
for their assistance with the festival.

    Thank you so much for hosting Blogtoberfest; although a bit of a challenge at times it really has been a bunch of fun, I've won some lovely giveaways, hosted my very own (a first for me!!), found some glorious new blogs, found some even more glorious new followers ;) & generally had an all 'round good time.

    Three cheers for TinnieGirly & Blogtoberfest! Book me in for next year...!

    Is it over already (and finally?!) Some days it seemed like October was endless and yet, today, it feels like it flew by.

    What fun.

    Thanks Cathy, for hosting the Blogtoberfest..it's truly been an inspiring adventure, and one I hope to continue..just by having to *think* creatively outside of what I do everyday for a living and having to communicate it...love it!

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Cathy I have really enjoyed Blogtoberfest. As the organizer aren’t you glad it’s a virtual festival and there are not any portaloos and rubbish to deal with????
    It has been a fun and challenging month. I shall be hanging around cheering for you from the sidelines as your creative dreams take flight, what a big month for you this has been, in so many ways, thanks for sharing some of what you are experiencing.
    I have lent out my copy of The Artist Way, but if it doesn’t come back to me this week I am hitting the book shops for another copy.
