Welcome to all [and I hope there is a lot] the visitors to my blog for the Memories and Thanks Blog Hop!
There are a lot of people in my life that are really special. My hubby! My Sister, my Daughter, Son, Son-in-Law, My Grandson, my Dad [especially my DAD] my Brother, Brother -in-law and a lot of friends!  That is just the ones that I can reach out and touch!!! LOL  When Lori started this Blog Hop late last year, I thought it would be great to get in and say thanks to all the special people in my life!  There is not enough room or enough time to tell everybody how special they are to me!

So I decided to use this to say Thank You to.....
Lori, Marlene, Jami, Sandra, Gloria, Lena, Bonnie, and all of the other WONDERFUL friends that I have met here in Bead Soup Cafe!!!When I first discovered this it was when I saw the book about Lori's Bead Soup! I  read a little and thought... Wow, wouldn't that be fun.  I commented to Lori, and that was what Started it all!!!
  So Thank You so much to Lori McDaniel Anderson, first for being so very very good at what you do, and for letting me in to this great group and just for being You!!  In this group I have met Lori, then I met Marlene, and Marlene you are such a sweet and loving person too!!! I Thank You for all of your help and understanding and Patience when we started the Inspiration Challenge!! I had never been a part of something so far flung and so much fun!!!  In the last few months, I have not only met really special people but I have also found out a lot about myself!!!  I love beading!  It is a great constant in my life!  I love my business! When I got here, I really was not doing a whole lot with my business.  I did not know what a blog was or how to start one, Thank You Lori and Jami for help there!!!    I could probably fill 2 or 3 pages with how Thankful and Grateful I am to all the wonderful people here!!!  I won't...LOL but I could!  The point of all of this is to say that When I needed someone [ or ones] to help me solidify my thoughts about my business and to think in abstracts for Inspiration challenges and to figure out where I wanted to go...YOU WERE ALL HERE FOR ME!!!  SO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE IN THE BEAD SOUP CAFE Community! I am more focused and driven than I have ever been and I owe it all to you All!  The bracelet is my way of saying that I am happy and that my life is Wonderful thanks in part to all of my wonderful friends here!!!

 WONDERFUL!!!  MY LIFE!
