Sandie's Garden Analogy
I was touched by Sandie's thoughtfulness. As my regular readers know, I do enjoy making garden analogy layouts. I was downand feeling really inadequate at times. Am I really doing what I should be doing having this site?
Sandie reached out to me and communicated in a way I can identify with using a garden analogy. Isn't that sweet? And then she made a layout! I am holding onto her hope now. Isn't her tree beautiful!
Here's what Sandie had to say:
Garden Analogy: Beautiful flowers often take a long time to bloom, and often lots of hard work, but they are worth waiting for. (My Jacaranda tree is 7 years old before it blooms , but will live to about 90 years with glorious purple flowers every October-November).
Keep working at this- its too good to give up.
Remember, not everyone has the confidence to share work on-line- feeling inadequate is not just about housework. I like the way you welcome everyone, Hummie, and make such positive comments on layouts and how you so selflessly share all your techniques and tutorials. I'm sure your many passive members are gaining just as much from your work as I am, just by visiting, stealing peeks at work and gaining s from what you share. I know it is demoralising for your good work not to be recognised widely, but the nature of today's society is to take and rarely to give back. Just be confident that you are doing a superb job and we love you for that.
I have been SO blessed by the ladies who have joined this community who participate regularly.
I want this to be a place, not only to inspire each other and learn from each other,
but where friendships grow and warm fuzzies abound!
Julie surprised Chris with this wonderful thoughtful layout in the forums!
Now, THAT's what this place is all about.
I give a big thank you to the many ladies who are making my dreams for this place come true.
Julie's words about Chris are attributes of many of the ladies in the forum (including Julie herself!).
Ahhh, warm fuzzies abound!
