I'm very ...Congratulations on your anniversary! I'm very glad you've kept blogging. I enjoy reading your posts and I always learn something from them. <br /><br />I still prefer the "old-fashioned" blog to all the quick social media (but then again, I still read print!). I like to have a cup of tea and read my favorite bloggers, find out what they're up to, see their art, maybe learn something from them. Blogs are communication, social media is like a voice mail. (Me? I think I'm at year 5 in my blogging journey.)Maggiehttp://www.mockingbirdsatmidnight.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-88416922152512097652014-03-24T19:42:26.400-02:302014-03-24T19:42:26.400-02:30congrats on keeping a blog for 9 years!! :D bit of...congrats on keeping a blog for 9 years!! :D bit of a mile stone now with all the quicker social media out there<br /><br />I use my blog the same way, its great to get feedback and talk to people (and make friends), but I mostly use it like you wrote, as a personal art diary<br /><br />Jennifer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528908250338974537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-78804504194527949692014-03-23T18:24:09.369-02:302014-03-23T18:24:09.369-02:30Congrats - keep up the good work!

I'm told that a lot of people visit my blog, even though they do not leave a comment. Just have faith that you are helping many more people than you will ever know.debwardarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05225105239355671724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-1581610942514339682014-03-22T22:21:02.759-02:302014-03-22T22:21:02.759-02:30Gary, I'm sure there are those sitting in the ...Gary, I'm sure there are those sitting in the shadows, reading and that's just fine, not everyone wants to pipe up or make an observation. <br /><br />Isn't it amazing that our portrait swap gets so many hits? I have the portrait you did of me in my classroom studio and people comment on it all the time.<br /><br />Ooh dolphins! Do pet them for me if you go on Sunday. Recently a school of dolphinss were trapped under ice in a bay on the southwest coast here and died, so tragic for such lovely creatures.<br /><br />Here's to more blogging years for both of us!<br /><br />Mary, animals seem to find a way to embed themselves in our lives don't they - and into our art too. No doubt mine will continue to appear as blog posts as I head into future in blogging.<br /><br />You're right Ann, it seems to just go on without out need for feedback. Of course, the interaction from other artists is one of the best things there is about the whole blogging process.<br />Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-28431165555893615762014-03-22T11:17:27.755-02:302014-03-22T11:17:27.755-02:30Yes, congratulations on 9 years and I am happy to ...Yes, congratulations on 9 years and I am happy to see that you will continue with your blog. I've been at it 7 years and like you I never would have guessed I'd keep blogging that long. We share the same sentiment in that my blog is more for me, as a record of my artistic journey. The fact that others see and comment is just a wonderful bonus!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559534274200050929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-7337642747016733082014-03-22T06:36:42.617-02:302014-03-22T06:36:42.617-02:30Hi Jeanette

You're on a roll!<br />Marytheartistsdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226003809268986249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-35412478067098389022014-03-22T05:52:55.705-02:302014-03-22T05:52:55.705-02:30Hi Jeanette,
Congratulations on nine years bloggin...Hi Jeanette,<br />Congratulations on nine years blogging! Wow! Quite an achievement and I wonder how many thousands of artists you've helped, but were too shy to write a comment of thanks.<br />I just noticed your "Popular Posts". Now I know why I've had so many hits on your portrait lately! :)<br />I, for one, am thrilled that you plan on keeping up your blog. And let me avoid being one of those artists you've helped, but failed to say "thanks". So, many thanks for your sharing and caring.<br />Have a wonderful day tomorrow.<br />Sincerely,<br />Gary.<br />PS This Sunday, we "may" be going on the dolphin swim. I say "may", because the operators need at least four on the boat to go out and we're the first two. If two more folks don't sign-up, they'll reschedule us. I'll keep you posted and will, of course, make a post about the trip, whenever it happens.Gary L. Everesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02343464132076469808noreply@blogger.com
