		<description>Hi Barbara,
I&#039;m a little late to the party, but I did just want to say thank you for featuring my blog way back when.
I&#039;m one of those on hiatus but I want you to know I haven&#039;t given up. After lots of experimentation with blogging and never quite finding the right balance I felt I had to step away for a while to learn more about it in &#039;offline&#039; mode. I know that sounds like a strange strategy but it&#039;s the only way I could do it.
I have plans for my old site and my selfish site as well. Anyway, I didn&#039;t come here to talk about me, I came here because you deserve a big thank you for helping out a rookie blogger (me) and I needed you to know you didn&#039;t waste your time on me. :-)
Thanks again Barbara.
Dave.

		<description>Thank you for your kind words, Caroline,

As luck would have it, George of Tumblemoose Writing Services has picked up the torch and will continue to showcase new blogs.  I&#039;m so thrilled as I didn&#039;t want this series to end.  (I&#039;ll be adding a link here so others can find him and the new bloggers).

As you know, I LOVE your photography - especially the white flowers you do.  You have such a great eye for detail and the macros are phenomenal. 

I&#039;m happy to hear you and Jay became buddies. He&#039;s a great guy. 

As for me, I&#039;ll continue to post twice a week and will be unveiling my next project/site in the near future. 

Happy Blogging - Happy picture taking!</description>

		<description>You&#039;re very welcome, Pat

I read your comment earlier, however didn&#039;t get around to answering it until now. 

I remember that too. I love your kitchen table photo and knew I had to showcase your blog. When I read your posts, I feel like we&#039;re sitting at that table having coffee and girl talking. It always gives me the warm fuzzies. :)  

I&#039;m hoping you&#039;ll be back on the blogging scene sometime soon. Please stop by when that happens.  

God Bless you too, Pat</description>

		<description>I am so late in the game on this post but agree with so many commentors here.  I really loved Lance&#039;s comment...and almost choked up myself!  I have found so many wonderful blogs through this list...Jay (of Porisdan) who became an blog angel for me!  I would love for you to continue this and echo another who mentioned doing this every 2 weeks.  Nonetheless, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for highlighting my photoblog and all incredible new blogs out there.

I will always be a huge fan and supporter of your blog...whatever you do!

XO,

Caroline

		<description>Barbara - I remember when I first got your comment letting me know about &quot;New Blogger of the Week&quot;.  I was new to the blogging world (still am) and was ecstatic and thrilled to get a response from a post no less all the comments that followed from your followers.  I think it was the most hits I got in one day and probably still is.

You give so much to your readers on a regular basis and I want to personally thank you for that day for what you gave to me - you let me know there is someone out there in cyberspace wanting to connect and show kindness.

I appreciate you and your work and marvel at what you&#039;ve accomplished and learned and share with all of us.  Thank you for extending your kindness and including my blog on your list.

God Bless You

Pat
