Today is a big day for me: it’s one month that I have been blogging ( YAY! :)) and it is also my grandmother’s 99th birthday. It is indeed a Happy Birthday. I am savoring this moment and would like to thank the fellow perfumers and/or bloggers who inspired me. These folks gave me much valued information and much needed encouragement: Andy Tauer (who is celebrating his 5th anniversary blogging with a brand spanking new blog and website!), Laurie Erickson, Liz Zorn, and Trish at Scenthive. Thank you! You are all near and dear to my heart.
I’d also like to say Happy Birthday to my Grandmother, Crystal, who has inspired me every day of my life. Here is a little flower of celebration~

All the best to your grandmother, how wonderful that she is still with you at 99!
I can almost smell that lovely Damask rose… 🙂
Hi, Flora~
Thank you so much! It really is amazing to still have her with me at this point – event hough she is very far away from me in CT. I see her every chance I get. I’m really glad that you have been enjoying the blog as much as I have been… 🙂 have a fabulous day!
Happy one month! And happy 99 to your grandmother! It’s fun to get to know you through the blog. Glad you’re enjoying blogging! –Laurie
Thanks, Laurie! 🙂 hey, did I email you back? I thought of it so many times that I think I did but maybe not. If not let me know and I will!
oh goodness…my mind.
What a lovely post and congratulations on month one of blogging! How fortunate you are to still have your grandmother in your life. Certainly a day to celebrate.
Enjoy!

Hi Trish~
Thank you! It’s been AWESOME so far! You were definitely a big inspiration… Big hugs~ Dawn
Congratulations on your 1-month anniversary Dawn! I’d often wondered in the past why you didn’t have a blog so am glad you decided to. All the best to your grandmother – I only knew knew my paternal grandmother.

Thank you so much! For your kind words and for my grandma. 🙂 Crystal is my paternal grandmother, too; I never really knew my mom’s mom as she died when I was 3. She is such a blessing. I’m glad you like the blog, too. I guess there’s a right time for everything… I hope you have a great weekend! ~D
