For those of you living in the USA, Happy Independence Day!
It is time to celebrate all of you--well as many of you as I can and whose achievements I have come across, anyways! If you are new to my blog, this post is based on an idea I had in order to celebrate the successes of all the new people in my life. On the last day of each month (or close to it), I will create a post congratulating all my bloggy friends and acquaintances on their successes, anniversaries, milestones, achievements, etc. Of course, these will be strictly the items that I have come across during the month in my travels to the challenge blogs I have personally entered or are a team member of, or on my visits to personal blogs. There will be many things I'll miss so please don't take offense if you have achieved a success and you don't find your name listed here. I wish I had the time to check everyone and everywhere but I'd need a cloning machine to pull it off and I believe human cloning is still illegal. So for now, if you or someone you know has an achievement and you would like to have it included here, contact me by email before the end of the month or just include the information in the comment section of each 'Congratulatory Considerations' post.
I am aware of the following reasons for sending out congratulations to members within our community. So ladies, bask in the glow of the congratulatory candle. You all deserve the successes you have achieved! These are listed strictly in the order of when I came across them, not necessarily in any chronological order.
