One Year on........

My first post, Swiss Family Holiday, was last July. I could never have imagined then that I would become acquainted with so many new friends from around the world.
Looking at your blogs is something I enjoy, and equally I appreciate the interaction shared through comments.
A big thank you. I look forward to another year of happy blogging♥

  8. Happy Anniversary Rosemary. I love the way you keep raising the bar with your image creativity. This one is fantastic and instantly made me think of the kaleidoscope I had as a child. When viewed in your sidebar it becomes a beautiful stained glass window. Heres to another year of superb blogging!

    1. Dear Paul - thank you, I do appreciate your kind comments, and glad that you enjoyed the collage. Followers have come up with all kinds of descriptions of it, and I particularly like your kaleidoscope idea. You are right about it in the sidebar, it has become a stained glass window!!!
      Have you not tried giving my tondos a try yet? I did post a lesson a couple of weeks before I went away.

  9. What a wonderful way to celebrate you first anniversary, congratulations! I never realised how starting a blog would have introduced me to so many wonderful people all around the world. I look forward to many more posts from you!

    1. Dear Sarah - I do not have any 'real life' friends who blog. In fact one friend said to me the other day that I am the first person they have ever met who blogs. I think that it is their loss, and I am sure you feel the same. It is lovely to be connected with so many wonderful people. Perhaps the world would be a happier place if more people connected and blogged too?

    1. Dear Loi - that is such a very generous comment. I made the roundel by a very simple process, and in fact I was not totally satisfied as I had hoped it would be brighter and sharper. Thank you for your friendship too, I really enjoy visiting you at your blog.
