One year ago today, I posted my first cards on this site. The kind and encouraging comments I received prompted me to post again and again. At some gentle urging from several of you, I began to participate in some of challenges and have become a regular participant in the Teapot Tuesday challenge.
So, today I wanted to celebrate this milestone by saying Thank You to everyone in this wonderful community that has lifted me up, inspired me, made me smile, taught me new things and made me feel part of a community during this period of isolation. I am so appreciative to have found this group so filled with kind, generous, and positive folk -- so unlike most of the other social media out there today.
I know this card doesn't technically belong in this Gallery, but I was hoping by "sneaking" this in here, more of you would see it and I wanted you to know how much I appreciate YOU.
So many many thanks to each of you. You hold a special place in my heart forever. Have a great day!

I think your card belongs exactly where you posted it! It's beautiful in design, colors and heartfelt, too... Awesome card and, the reason for posting!

What a beautiful idea to post a thank you card to celebrate your one year gallery submission anniversary! You're so right .... this is such a friendly, encouraging and carrying community ... and you are part of the reason I say that! You post the sweetest comments on my cards!

I was thinking it was an odd card for Bill and that I'd already seen your swing one ;-). How sweet of you. Is it really only a year? I feel as if I'd "known" you longer than that!
That's a really nice shape of a heart die, they nest really well. It's been my experience with the Spellbinders ones that they don't. Just as well I don't use a lot of hearts .

Oh Debbie you're so sweet. I agree with you that SCS is a special place. Thank you for being a Teapotter...I believe the simple act of sending a card to someone in need does make a difference.

Happy Anniversary, Debbie! We're so glad you found us and jumped right in--feels like we've been friends for longer than a year. I've loved your year of cards, and I look forward to enjoying your creations for years to come! Especially if you keep adding more glitter :0)

Feels like you have been a part of us for longer, Debbie. You just fit right in with your sweet spirit, encouraging words, and love of paper and ink (and all that goes with it). I am sooooo glad you are around! Hugz
