Best blogging experiences?<BR/><BR/>When I swallowed my grief and posted about my miscarriage I connected with so many women who had gone through similar things and were grateful I'd posted about it - including one who had 8 miscarriages and, it turned out, lived just around the corner. She promptly came over to tea. <BR/><BR/>That one moment represents so much of what I love about blogging. The way it brings people together, encourages talking and sharing and mutual support. The way it spills over into the real world. The way the global can suddenly turn out to be so local (like discovering the entire back room of discount fabrics I'd never noticed at a local fabric store after someone left a comment on my blog). The way bloggers and the things they say and make and do are such a constant source of inspiration, encouragement, knowledge, and appreciation.<BR/><BR/>I love that I get to share the lives, the experiences, the photos and the stories of the bloggers I read. And you especially Gwen have been the best kind of blogging buddy - interesting, funny, generous, communicative, entertaining.<BR/><BR/>Blog on baby :-)soozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14784397133575053048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21171856.post-1149780615601624262006-06-08T17:30:00.000+02:002006-06-08T17:30:00.000+02:00Congratulations!

And your care and devotion to caterpillars and other critters is inspirational to my kids. I try to share some of my creative life through a photo sharing site, Flickr, and have been overwhelmed by the response of so many comments by so many viewers. It's nice to hear all those voices out there, across the globe and through out the states. I hope to see more of your collages (this one is beautiful) and critter egg cozies. Keep sharing Gwen!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21171856.post-1149774945680294292006-06-08T15:55:00.000+02:002006-06-08T15:55:00.000+02:00Congratulations on your 100th post!!

You have put so simply and elegantly the things I was struggling to express. I have only recently discovered your blog, but it is already one that I read daily.

(!) I started a personal site when my older daughter was born... mostly as a means to keep our friends and family up to date. <BR/><BR/>What I didn't realize was that the blog would become what it has become... does it seem crazy to admit it's become a part of my life? ;)<BR/><BR/>1) The blogosphere is a bottomless trove of art/craft ideas. Ack! I don't have nearly enough time to do everything I would like ... but I'm bookmarking like mad. :)<BR/>2) It's about making conections with likeminded souls. It's a community. I've gained so much from my bloggy friends. <BR/>3) The blog is a place I can call my own. Writing, for me, is a catharsis. <BR/><BR/>Here's to the next 100 bugheart!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21171856.post-1149698010584178762006-06-07T18:33:00.000+02:002006-06-07T18:33:00.000+02:00congratulations my dear! your starting a blog has...congratulations my dear! your starting a blog has been the best thing to happen to my work-days since... well, maybe since ever! i love to gobble up your beautiful pictures and words like a tasty lemon-ginger cookie with my afternoon tea. but besides getting to peek into your crafty world all the time, i have really enjoyed getting to "know" so many other wonderful inspiring folks and their art. thanks for creating such an epicenter of hand-made joy!f. peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01155602459175649458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21171856.post-1149693988688701892006-06-07T17:26:00.000+02:002006-06-07T17:26:00.000+02:00Congrats!

I was constantly sending them links to funky stuff & decided a blog would be a more efficient, if you will, way to share my finds. I never knew that I would make real, true friends b/c of blogging. I read so many artist's and crafter's blogs & am inspired on a daily basis by the work they do, as well as the character they demonstrate. It truly is a community of positive people. A couple of weeks ago, my grandmother was in a severe car accident with a semi-truck. We weren't sure she would survive. I didn't go into too many details with my blogging friends, but all of the kind words I received from them helped me to stay strong & positive. It's so easy to fall apart in trying times, but with a support network behind you - especially one you weren't really aware of! - it's easy to press on. And now I have some great friends that I correspond with regularly...and my grandmother is healing! Congrats on your 100th post! Your generosity & kindness (as well as fabulous insect photography) is always so nice to read! I love the collage you did. Magnificent!
