My girlfriend loved her presents, especially the license plate with the photo of her puppy on it.  She also really liked the album that included pull outs for her grandkids to write stories or draw pictures of her puppy on.  It was a good day.  Weirdly enough, it made me want to color.  I haven’t felt like coloring Mandalas for a long time.  I used to get so much relaxation from them, but now I find some of the same relaxation in making videos.

When I started this YouTube venture in October, I hoped that people would like it and respond well, but I never imagined it would start to grow at the pace it is currently growing at.  I’m so thrilled that people are telling others and that the momentum of the channel is really picking up.  I thought if we had 5o0 subscribers by June 1st, it would be unbelievable.  I’m pretty sure we will be at 500 before April 15th, and who would have ever imagined that?  I know 500 isn’t many in the grand scheme of things, but to me, it’s an incredible number.  We’re  going to celebrate by giving five crafty prizes to five viewers.  I can’t thank them enough.  This has been such a wonderful experience and I have met so many truly wonderful people.  I’m so lucky to have found something that brings both Rich and I so much happiness.  We are in this together.  Without his tech skills, there would not be a channel.  He does everything except make the project on camera.  He’s amazing and so patient with the problems I create for him. You can’t even begin to conceive of the mistakes he has to correct.  He’s definitely a keeper.  So thanks for watching and reading the blog, because you have no idea how much it means to us!
