Big hellos to you on this Tuesday from a guest Polly; Anne of Alamo! It is no secret I am quite happy with the-Lily Pad. There is an atmosphere to the Pad, that is beyond all to me. I admit to being one who pops around the digiworld, you can find me here and there and everywhere, but the Pad has become a place I know the people, both those that have been here from the beginning, and those that have just joined. It is home.
What makes the-Lily Pad different? Sit, and relax and let me show you.
Last week, I had my world rocked in a very personal way, I posted a thread in the forum, more angry and frustrated than anything, and so many people responded, my heart was lifted like no other. It made me think about the precious people that frequent the-Lily Pad and to dive a bit deeper into some of the threads.
One of the Polly’s, renee82 posted a need for her precious pup. You see we have come to know Koda, thru her pages. I mean this dog is beyond awesome, and he was really, really sick!! So many people jumped in that thread and just went to town encouraging Renee! I was blown away. The good news is he is gonna be okay and we will see more layouts like A Boy and His Dog!
Then heather aka faithfulhd announced fantastic news about the finalization of their adoption of their twins!! After a year and a half, they are forever theirs! Okay, I cried! I did!! The exciting part now will be to watch her gallery fill up with pages of their family.
Another precious Sister Scrapper; sarahbhb asked for support for a job for her husband! I mean the support just rolled in! As Sarah has poured her life onto the canvases of her gallery, we know she is pressing in and is holding on. We as a group, give a small cyber hug or word to just say, you can do it, girl! Here is one of her pages, Right Now.
On a funny side, Lynnette has pure dread in her heart regarding potty training her daughter! I mean, I just laughed reading her words in her post. She took the right attitude, and said, I will just scrap about it!! She cruised through the store until she found the right kit for what she was about to embark upon! I love her planning!!
There are more posts that are needs for prayer, reports of joy and just hey what cha’ doing right now or this week? I could go on about the comments in the gallery. They are like no other. The words shared by inspiring and uplifting ladies like Dalis, Jordan(aka mommy2boys), Kellie (joelsgirl), Amanda and so many more that fill the Froggy favorites post each month.
See the heart of the-Lily Pad is you. YOU, the people that care and take the time to show it. You make the-Lily Pad special, and I am very proud to be a part!
~never lose your joy

Aww – so nice Anne! I’m still fairly new to the pad, but I do have to say that I feel quite at home here. Thanks for sharing some of the love in this post :)
