whew! done! At first I cringed at the thought of having to pick all of these great people.. but then once i started..it all just came so naturally. All of the gals (and guy) mentioned above are a great inspiration to me..and Im truly blessed by being a part of their blogging 'family'. :)

Im so happy 'blogland' developed.. its amazing to think back that 10 years ago..we had no clue. no networking. no peeps to chat with online. no art support teams to encourage, inspire and motivate.

Never stop learning.. growing..and challenging yourself :)
