    Just a random thread here because I thought of it. Feel free to play along ... or not. LOL.

    1. I am scrappily grateful that @AnneofAlamo came back to the Pad. I missed her spirit.

    Right now, I am scrappily grateful for being part of a community where I can be part of sooooooo many creative expressions. I am totally loving the pad, and all the different areas in which I feel inspired (hybrid, project life, scrapping, art journaling, planners, and FRIENDS! ) I am never leaving this place without something (an idea, a virtual hug, etc.), and can only hope I've done this for others.

    There's so much negative junk in life. I love, with all my little heart, to spend time with people who bring out the best in me. Scrappers are my tribe!!!!

    The past year I've been learning to keep my mouth shut when my brain has negative things to say. And at the same time, I'm opening it up more (or at least letting my fingers do it) when something positive pops in!!!

    I love this thread. :beat

    I'm so grateful for the inspiration that lives here at The Pad: in pages and projects AND in people! There is a lot of beautiful that lives here. :beat

    I'm grateful that it is not just a scrappy place, but a place for people with varied interests/hobbies and a lot of personalities/experiences. And even with all of the people who hang out here, there is never any drama or difficulty. It is amazing.

    I am very scrappily grateful that the Pad is so welcoming and friendly! It's so terrifying to try somewhere new and there is always that chance people are snobby or cliquish or just ignore you - and this is NONE of that. I felt at home here almost right away and I love it. <3 Scrappily grateful for all of y'all!

    well, I came here already crying after reading my other posts replies.......
    I don;'t think I can reduce my gratefulness to this place to a postable text..... I could be hours here in addition to all you guys have said so well....

    at this time my "real life" (which I dislike calling it like that, to me, this is as real as it gets) is giving me a hard time, my daughter has decided to act the "terrible teens" now she is under a couple of month away from being 20..... I honestly, with a hand in my heart, on my mother's health..... I do not know if I would have been able to get through the past few months (well actually the whole year) without this family.

    Of course I am so amazingly grateful , for Laura who is one of the most amazing women I have known in my entire 57 & half years of life, for the pollys who from day one gave me a home ..... and each and everyone of the members of this community, I know is difficult to get to know everyone in depth, precisely because of that I am SO hugely grateful for the ones who have ,made an effort during the 3 years I have been here, to get to know me, to listen and help me in moments in which, once again... I could have not have been able to get over without you.

    I know this and it makes me so so very happy that you feel it.....
    as I said and will keep saying....
    Grateful for this awesome family we have, the best ever mother hen, and we keep growing........
    (have I mentioned I may never leave my computer again? LOL)
    @Cath_ now we are seriosuly in trouble!!!! who will do anything ever again in our houses? not us!!!!!!!! :rofl

    every post here I could love and quote and go further into it... but as it is 04:30 and I need to sleep at least a couple of hours.... I'll say good night and come back in a few hours :heartslub

    @MrsPeel. You, my dear, are an inspiration. I heard you on the (I think) Digi Scrap Geek podcast (is that right?). You have so much heart. Life is challenging you for sure, yet you take the time to show love to all around you. :beat

    Oh my...you guys are giving me the ugly cries! It's an honor and a blessing to have this home that each of you have helped to build. It's always been the desire of my heart to have TLP be a place where scrappers can be supported as artists and simply as PEOPLE. If you've been here long enough, you know I sometimes reference the theme song to that old sit-com Cheers..."where everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came." Truly, who doesn't need a soft place to land...and more sanctuary in their life? If even one of you has received that here then I have done my job. Given that it's a scrapbooking site, it was almost a given that creativity would live here, but I am most proud of the kindness and caring that lives here as well. Thank you all for making TLP a part of your lives. You well and truly bless me with your presence here and and, especially tonight, with your words. Thank you. Lots of love to you all! :wub

    Isn't it funny that I always feel the same about you Cynthia? That you are a blessing to me, and you always encourage and support me...and you seem to have the most perfect timing...whenever I am in need of a lift to my spirits, you come along and warm my heart and make me smile.

    Ah, what a great thread!! I am simply grateful - there are so many things about this place I can't even begin!

    Our members, for being so welcoming and accepting of new friends
    Our designers, for cranking out scrapping goodness
    The Pollys, for doing their "jobs" so effortlessly
    Specifically, the challenge team, for working so hard to make my job easy
    Our new members, for being willing to give TLP a try
    And of course, Laura, just for being :)

    Okay, enough of this mushy love stuff - I have a Christmas tree to take down and a house to get back in order! :ballonhang

    All you have to do is read each and every response here to see why I am so thankful to first @Danyale for sharing her talent with us all which caused me to land here at TLP. Which allowed me to meet wonderful people like @MrsPeel and @Cath_ and @lmccandless and I could seriously go on and on with the many people who have been so kind and welcoming to me in the short time I have been here! I have NEVER felt so at home in a scrap community as I do here even when I was designing. I am thankful as well for having others to bounce ideas off of and ask questions of, to enjoy a chat with or a cry with if needed. To have huge belly hurting laughs with and even cause a little trouble with here and there...shhh don't tell the powers that be.....he he. And now I am even more thankful because we have even more people to share these things with! Hugs to all!
