If You've gotten to know Me through following My blog, I'm so grateful for Your continued friendship, or even just the interest shown by staying My follower. Your comments have shown Me there are many"kindred spirits" for each of Us and We never need to feel alone at any point of the day or night.Yes,I have a large and loving family that I'm very close to but still this world of blogging has brought to Me so many friendly warm kindred Sisters. At the mere touch of this keyboard I can gain a comforting uplifting word,prayer of others,and so many laughs that I'm always surprised. I can find this with My family, yes,where it's different than family, though, at least for Me, are the many interests We share. For those of You that are apart Of the Growing Your Blog Party....My name is Denise. I'm 61 years old. At this point in My life My main and everlasting JOY is My Husband and Grandchildren.Oh yes I do love My four daughters.To Me that goes without saying.Those 10, so far :) Grandchildren are such an added delight, I never really expected so much FUN. I'm a retied RN-
EEKS- been retied all My married life of 37 years.Now when not babysitting My girl's little ones or having fun with the older ones,I'm blogging,swimming almost every day and paper crafting.Art journals by the ton,watercolor painting,ATCs and tags.I love "Tussey Mussies"-cones that is,and trading all the paper crafts with the Altered Paper Craft group I belong to. I also love traveling the US with My husband and going on dates with Him. I love God's Great Outdoors and find inspiration from His handiwork. My blessed life I give all the tribute to Christ. I invite You to be My new friend and follow along with My great fun in... "MY IMAGINATION."Quote:Of Course, no other than the great Sponge Bob Himself. Oh Yes,My latest biggest change happened a little over a year ago,the gigantic blessing of My Gastric Bypass 110 lbs-GONE-YOUNG again once more.Blessings to You Denise

Hi...popping in from the blog party, but I can't wait to read more of your blog later. What fun!
Denise, welcome to the big beautiful Grow Your Blog Hop! I volunteered to help Vicki as a GYB party volunteer. Vicki will stop by sometime I am sure, but with more than 600 blogs participating it will take her time to visit everyone so she asked for volunteers to help today. I offered to help. I am so happy I did because I have found your blog. Thanks for joining the hop!
You are so very creative Denise.. What a lovely post.
Thank you for your most welcome visit and kind thoughts.
blessings,
Penny
Dear Denise,
Such a beautiful post. Your creations like your Tussy Mussies are so gorgeous! I have seen some amazing images on your blog as I have looked through.
Blogging has definitely brought you so much love, joy and inspiration.
Thank you for your lovely visit. I will return! I'm a little swamped at present with blogs! I would sincerely love to follow everyone but that is impossible!
This event is such a busy time and I hope you draw some lovely new friends to your blog that inspire you.
Wishing you lots of success!

HI--I see you have a pic from Wind and the Willows, one of my favorite stories. I am the same age as you and I also just love playing with my grandkids---I actually feel transported to another world when I am with them because we imagine so much in our play. Unfortunately I do not live very close---I wish they lived in my town!
Thanks for becoming a follower of my blog. I will be 61 in a couple weeks. Your tags are lovely, as are you!
