Over the years I’ve met some pretty awesome people through various communities online. Many of these people have become good friends, a couple have become really close friends and one even lived with me (Stacey doesn’t currently have a website up and running yet).

I thought it’d be nice to send a little love their way in this, my newest linky love post.

I remember meeting Crissy of Dearcrissy.com several years ago through Livejournal. One of the first entries I read (or I should say heard) was a voice post about the power going out in her dorm. I guess it’s a little strange that I can remember those things but hey, I guess I’m a strange one because I remember almost everything! One of the things I really enjoyed (and still enjoy) is Crissy’s artwork. She takes amazing photographs - self portraits, florals and as a cat lover, she has a wonderful way of capturing her cat Mewson. She’s very creative and that shows in her unique paintings, which she even sells. One day I will own a Crissy original, lol!

A couple of years into my blogging journey, I met Henny (Helen to you) of Rhythm. She’s another wonderful artist (be sure you check out her photography and artwork on Mindmirror.net). Our meeting was different than most, we had a mutual nuisance that brought us together but that’s another story. Over the years Henny and I have become really good friends. She recently got married and though I was unable to attend, I would love to meet her someday soon. Henny is a very inspiring person. She works as a family and children’s therapist, which I really admire (if you know me personally, you’ll know why). I feel lucky to have a friend like Henny!

Then we have Manda of Toxid-lotus.net. I remember our initial meeting was a little “stressed” (lol). Thankfully we managed to overcome all of that because I was able to make another awesome friend. Manda is expecting her second child (she has a son, Sascha). In fact, she’s hoping to find out if it’s a boy or a girl today! Manda is also artist and as you’ll see in her photography and vector work, she’s amazing. One of the things I love most about her vector work is the colors she uses. They’re always vibrant and fit the piece perfectly. Oh and speaking of which - Manda, I think you need to get your vector galleries back online!

I hope you enjoy these ladies as much as I do!
