Though I have yet to participate in the Free Write Fridays in reality, I have gone over and over them in my mind as I blindly muck through the humdrum of the everyday life of teaching and maintaining some pretense of housekeeping. And I have begun writing. I have always wanted to, but just have never jumped in feet first. Since stumbling upon your site I have commenced, putting my life into words. Faltering, yet progressing slowly but surely, the words are coming. And I thank you. I would not have done it on my own. Keep the inspiration flowing and I will keep slurping it up like water to a thirsty soul. And who knows, someday all this mental free writing I am doing may just find its way onto paper.Brenda Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155126268928642840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8968803817110676732.post-31589791720679199912011-02-24T11:02:20.852-05:002011-02-24T11:02:20.852-05:00But Gigi you have already given us the gift, YOU.

WOW.....two years....it seems...My dear friend Gigi,<br />WOW.....two years....it seems only yesterday that I found your beautiful blog, your wonderful photographs and your inspiring posts. I think that it might have been your first giveaway that I won which, when I received it, was such a delight. So many treasures, all of which are still part of my world.....the shells and sea glass still sit on my mantlepiece and are touched daily, your book is read, often, and I am still using the lovely and pretty post-it's, as there were so many, and the sketch book gets used when I'm inspired. That is what I LOVE about giveaway's. I, too, have been blogging for nearly two years and have won quite a few giveaways which are all around my house and, everytime I walk past them, I think of the person who sent them to me, including you and, of course, Scout, who picked my name out !!<br />Thanks so much for being there and being you Gigi. Sorry if I've been AWOL over the past few weeks.....I have been celebrating my birthday virtually everyday since February 1st....I have been out so much ,show's, dinner's , lunches......I'm fit to burst !!!! I think that I have got to stop now !!<br />I know that whatever goes into your giveaway prize will be beautiful and magical and, whoever wins it will get as much pleasure as I have got from mine.<br />Happy Blog Birthday Gigi, and lots of love.
