So, Mister Teal Boots and I were talking…
And, you know, we both tend to be so sappy.
But we really are quite honest and true in our feelings.
What I want to say is, thank you beyond words for being out there.
For saying hello from time to time.
For the exchange of thoughts and words at this virtual space.
It’s a dance, and knowing you are there, makes me want to stay on the dance floor.
And when you are out there dancing with me, sharing your thoughts too, it’s extra wonderful.
An inspires me to keep typing.
And sharing.
And being here.
So thank you oooodles!
I started blogging at the end of December, after Christmas.
In 2006.
Where the time has gone?
I have no clue.
But it’s been a blast.
And I hope to continue meeting you here, for a long time.
Thanks for being here, without you, well, it just wouldn’t be fun at all.
Truly.
Huge hearts, and wishes and hopes your way, xoxo!
Also…
As you may have noticed, a handful of months ago, I carved out a spot for sponsors.
(in the upper right hand sidebar, sponsor info here)
It took me years to make that decision.
Why? I don’t know.
Because really, it has been wonderful getting to share creative folks with you.
And the sponsors have been so very nice.
Sharing giveaways and such, adding to some great fun around here.
This month we have:
Side of the Road, Cottage and Gothic Romance.
Take a peek!
We also have Gerushia’s New World!
Here’s a tiny snippet…
And we have, Seventh Willow if you have a moment, stop by…
Exquisite Artisan Jewelry!
A little peek…
Yumm!
Treasures.
I love treasures!
Especially of the art and jewelry variety.
Thank you lovely lovely sponsors!!!

What lovely sponsors I do spy! Perhaps some window surfing is in order.
Congrats to the lovely winner, enjoy padding around in sock-u-la splendor.
And most of all… Thank you Vanessa for spreading your lovelyness here in blogland! You’re the bestest ever!
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
We’re glad you take precious moments of your time to uplift with your positiveness…..
Also, I am on a sock crusade now! It is positively freezing freezing freezing in Utah…..never realized what a mess my nylons (which I never wear any more) and sock drawer is until seeing your’s 🙂
Mr. Teal Boots kind of looks like cocoosie ~ and that’s a good thing!
I should be thanking you!!! You uplift my life and show me that all things are possible and life is full of magic… So THANK YOU!!!!
Vanessa, I just wanted to say how much joy I get from reading your blog. Your photos, your posts, everything! I’ve been reading your blog for several years. I hope you will continue to post for many more years to come! Thank you!
Love the things you are showing.
I want to thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, artwork, and photos. A new post from you is always anticipated and appreciated–so much, in fact, that it honestly makes for a happier day for this girl.
Happy for Maria…the sock winner!
Did you know, Vanessa, that I come to your blog as much as I go to my own? This is at least once a day, if not to just come back and view some of your vintage posts which I never saw back in 2006, as it was in 2008 that I discovered your magical blog. You inspired me to develop my own blog and my own style. Stampington was the next step in the world of art and creativity which inspired me to join a few doll ning sites…and that was the beginning of a very inspirational creative journey and I have not looked back, if only to see that Wonderland is still alive and thriving and the twists and curves have been so diverse that I have never become bored but am always viewing new blogs and still learning new mixed media skills. This fantastic journey has been a window to Neverland and beyond.
Thanks to special friends like you this could never have been possible. Totally… Blogland is a dream come true…and all of the kindred creative friends who have inspired me in ways almost unimaginable to follow them over the rainbow!!!
Lots of winks ; ; ; and smiles 🙂 🙂 🙂 and star dust * * * * * *

Thank you for being in this electronic world. You fill the space with color and hope and inspiration. Keep doing what you’re doing. I doubt you truly know just how important your blog is. It lifts people’s hearts and soothes their eyes. It heals hurts and brings a bit of light into the darkness that life can throw at us sometimes.
Thank you for all you do.
