Twenty

20

  That, my dear friends, is the number of followers I officially have.  It might sound cheesy when I say it, but thank you so much, you REALLY do not know how much this means to me.  After my blog "The Petite Pencil: Snow Globes in my Wardrobe" was deleted, I was crushed.  Those forty-nine followers were just gone, and I didn't know if I could ever get them back, but now, I'm nearly half way there after only a tad bit over a month.  I am SO touched, and I really really love you all.

  You know, it kind of hurts to see that twenty of the forty-nine I had originally followed back, but I really shouldn't care, should I?  Nope.  These are my TRUE followers, my true friends.  You girls took the time to follow this simple, odd, not-professional-or-popular-in-any-way blog and made me feel special.  Sure, 20 isn't too many, but for me, that's a big deal.

  I want to have a special shout out to two very awesome people . . .

  First off, to Calmity/Sara.  She was my first person to follow this blog, and was also the first person to follow The Petite Pencil.  You know, that's really, REALLY, amazing to me.  I know, I know, she's my best friend in real life, so no DUH she's going to follow my blog, but she didn't have to, I didn't tell her to.  So, thanks Sara, I love you to pieces!  <3

  Secondly, to Bleah.  She was officially my twentieth follower, and that didn't just make me ecstatic that she got me to my stepping stone of twenty followers, but also that she has over three hundred followers on her wonderful blog Where Love Abounds.  She first commented on Camp Half-Blog {my Percy Jackson blog, shared with some of my awesomesauce online buddies} saying that the blog made her day, which made my day.  I'd heard of Bleah, I'd read her blog, and I'd even followed on of her blogs before my accounts were deleted.  I was seriously freaking out, my heart was beating out of my chest, and I was smiling from ear to ear. So, thank you, Bleah, for giving me a spaz attack, and for making MY day.

  I love you all SO MUCH and don't know what I'd do without you!  Thanks for twenty, and maybe I'll have twenty more before I know it!

{{Special thanks to all of my wonderful followers Sapphie, Calmity, Ima Virginia, Renata, Kellee, A.J., Quinlyn, Zaidia, Ellie, brusselsprouthead, Morgan, Britts, Sarah V, Kylie, Maeve, Jasmine, Sapphie again {XD  It really means a lot that you care enough to follow TWICE!}, singer4life, and Bleah.  Y'all make my life happier and more amazing than it is already.}}

Peace out My Sisters in Christ!
