Hi there! Since you are reading these words right now, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for being here, on this, my 9-year blogging anniversary. Nine years. Wow, that went by quickly.
When I began writing The T-Cozy on March 6, 2007, there was a lot less chatter online. Now, with Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, and more, some folks have become quick fix social media junkies with short attention spans. The result: good blogs are biting the dust daily. You see, blogging takes time and that commitment is not something every blog author and blog reader can sustain. These days, some prefer to write or read a brief tweet or text message.
And yet... here you are. And for that, I am truly grateful.
Thank you!
Susan
Connect with me on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. I'd love to hear from you!
Happy Blogiversary, Susan! I'm so glad you're still here!

Claudia~ Thank you! And I, you. Doesn't it seem like blogging has fallen out of favor? Too much work and brain power expended I suppose....

I am glad you are still here. I have signed up for many blogs, but there are only a few that I try to read when there are posts and your blog is one of my favorites. You are right, there is so much going on online that blogs seem quaint and old fashioned. Sometimes I can tell that my age is showing and as you well know, getting older in American does not mean getting better in our disposable, faster and faster culture. Oh well, I have learned the only thing that I have control over changing is myself. It requires a strong will to hold onto your beliefs BUT to also know when changes are required and a good thing.
I will step off my soapbox and again, congrats!

Your eye candy photographs and inventory, to say nothing of your fabulous workroom, continue to be my go to place when I need a "product" fix. Huge congratulations for nine years of success!
