I have made some lovely friends, and discovered heaps of new things (even about myself) by blogging and following (and commenting on) other people's blogs. The blogging world and most especially the crafty blogging world is a very special place.
If you haven't tried it, you really should. The experience is amazing. Go comment on someones blog now. If you don't have one, start your own. Be a part of this fantastic online crafting
ETA: If you are wondering what I am on about, check out Kootoyoo's Blog. She has hosted a sort of on-line blogging scavenger hunt.
