you can't dance alone

Click on image to view.

Well, today is my blogs second birthday. I did have something planned for it, but didn't quite pull it off in time. Ambitious but rubbish, that's me. It will still happen - just not when I intended. Anyway, all will be revealed in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned folks. My excuse, for not getting my act together, this time, is that I am frantically trying to get some of this children's book down on paper. The aim is five drawings by the end of the month. Yikes.

This birthday is a good opportunity to say another big thank you to all you guys. For all the visits, the comments and the encouragement that you've given me over the last couple of years. I've learnt so much in that time. On lots of levels. It has been quite a journey. The fact that you choose to join me makes me happier than you'll ever know. Cheers.

  25. Thank you all, folks. Really, thank you. I apprecaite each and everyone of your comments.

    I'm working on answering all the messages, emails and comments I've recieved over the last few weeks. The amount I've recieved has been overwhelming. Sometimes some slip through the net (I have a crappy email account too, which doesn't help) and I appologise to anyone I haven't got back to. I always try to answer every one.

    And, one day soon, when I get some time, I will visit ALL of your lovely blogs. And spread some of the support and encouragement you've sent my way.

    Cheers, everyone.

    You have been such a tremendous inspiration. I will thank the fairy who motivated you to put your work out there.
