It's so easy to get into a routine of browsing pretty blogs (and social media sites) and leave without ever really letting that person know that they've made an impact on their day.

It makes me want to explore EPP with pieced fabric more, or even just using applique differently to adhere the units to base cloth. So many options!

You hit the nail on the head, however, with the word "intentional". I think that's my true goal here. To be more intentional about true encouragement.

I hope that my post doesn't discourage people from sharing even the small positive things.

I've written a few posts of my own on my baby blog (it's still too new to be grown-up!) but mostly I'm a lurker on other people's blogs.<br /><br />What I've realized that I LOVE about the blogs I read is how positive people tend to be in the comments sections.
