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 I am able to (or close to it), I will create a post congratulating all my bloggy friends, acquaintances, teammates and active followers of my blog, 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.

There are a couple challenge blogs that have reached milestones in the last few weeks as well. First up is...
SCRIBBLES DESIGNS CHALLENGE
- I am honoured to have been part of this challenge blog and team from the start so congrats to Sandy for reaching her first 100 followers!
- This is the special badge that I created for the blog itself:
- My colleagues over at Digi Darla's, Karen and Denise, are co-owners of another challenge blog that I try to participate in as often as I am able to. They too recently reached the 100 follower mark.
- This is the special badge (250 px wide) that I created for the blog itself, if either Karen or Denise would like to use it:
Now, as far as my recent accomplishments go...
Top three placements over at:
So the candle burns brightly for all these wonderful ladies along with those of you who have had accomplishments I'm unfamiliar with. Don't forget, if you'd like to see an achievement celebrated here next month, contact me before the 28th of February or just include the details in the comment section of the next 'Congratulatory Considerations' post when it comes out.
Until next time,
P.S. It is possible that I have made mistakes as I gather these throughout the month and unfortunately, I just don't have the time to go back and verify. If you noticed a specific mistake, let me know and I'll fix it up as soon as I can.
