My goodness. We made it. 31 days of blogging and not a single slip. It really has been quite a journey. In fact, I had a little moment this morning on my way to work thinking about this past month and how important it has been to me.I've made some wonderful new friends and spent hours in front of the computer, still not having enough time to visit all the festival goers. I've ridden the highs and lows of creative energy and confidence on a daily basis, lost my balance and seemingly found it again. I've questioned and rediscovered what's important in life. I feel like in some small way I've given myself a glimpse of what it will be if I truly embrace the life I talked about here.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. If I haven't had the chance to pop in and visit you I will be around some time soon. In the meantime I'm giving everyone a spirit award because you deserve it.
I don't think I'll be blogging every day from here on in. In fact I am really feeling a strong desire to spend less time sitting in front of a computer and more time painting and collaging, gardening, reading, dreaming and creating. I've also been working diligently on my secret squirrel business and hope to tell you all about it by mid November.I received this gorgeous bunch of flowers from Two Pink Possums today. Thanks Linda. What a lovely thought.
Grand Purl Baa asked me to spread the word about a great giveaway happening over at her place. Knitter or not, you won't want to miss this one.
What's a festival wrap up without some thank yous. To my fabulous assistants Curlypops and flossy-p thanks for all your generous help. To Bellgirl for the wonderful Blogtoberfest Blog Crawls? She's done this tasty one to celebrate the end of the festival.
How appropriate that it’s Friday for the last day of Blogtoberfest. I’m Loving Friday as always. Today’s its for two very simple reasons. The bus driver waited for me when he saw me running to catch my bus and I’m reading the latest edition of Mix Tape. I feel pensive like Patsy and at peace with the world.
BLOGTOBERFEST will be back in 2009 and I'll hope you'll join me again.
See you soon. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon my friends.

Thanks so much for putting inso much of an effort in Blogtober. I have to admit I have fallen off a couple of times but overall I have really enjoyed it.
Looking forward to next year, and perhaps a little rest.
Well done and thank you so much for the opportunity to blog every day, it's something I've been wanting to do for a while and October was the perfect month for it xx
THANK-YOU!!!! It was great, hard, but rewarding hey? It was great slogging through such a commitment, knowing there were so many comrades by our sides, falling back on each other for ideas, laughs, rewards, and inspiration when we needed it most.
I too have made many new friends! And that's been the best part.
Thank-you again, You're a born leader! ;)

Hurrah for Big Cat and Hurrah for Blogtoberfest!!! Well done on putting yourself out there and getting something fun and amazing and inspiring together. Bet it all surprised you how well it took on! I've enjoyed the motivation of posting nearly every day. :P I'll be in it next year. :D
Thanks BC for proposing the whole Blogtoberfest madness - I did enjoy myself, even if it was hard to post some nights. I want to escape the screen for a while now, since I look at it for work all day, but I'm also really enjoying working my way through your list of festers and plan to keep going so it would be good if you could keep it there for a few more weeks. Thanks again and congrats on doing the whole of October. I started late but I don't think I can pull through for a few more days but I'll see how I go. Bye for now, Chooky
