Thank you!

Mornin' everyone.  It is Shari here with you on this (hopefully) sunny and delightful Sunday morning.

As you've read over the past few weeks, I'm moving on from my role as Connie's blogger after two great years writing and sharing with all of you.  Of course, I'm not leaving Connie as I'll be making quick page and alpha (and who knows what else!) add-on packs for her amazing collections.  I'm really excited about the opportunity to challenge myself and really explore my creativity.  Connie is so kind to give me this new opportunity just as she gave me such a wonderful challenge on August 6, 2010 when I took over her blog.

As I thought back over the past two years, I dug out some statistics that I wanted to share before my blogging career is over.  My goal in taking on the blogger role was to bring Connie to more scrappers and bring more scrappers to Connie and her wonderful products.  Working together with you, Connie and her amazing team of artists, we've come a long way toward that goal I think!

Unique visitors to Connie's blog = over 90,000
Pageviews on Connie's blog = nearly 800,000
Blog freebie downloads = over 330,000

For the next week or so, Connie will be blogging herself about her Daily Download over at Gotta Pixel.  She's got lots of goodies to share so be sure to stop by each day and check in.  Over this week, Connie and I will be getting the new blog team up and running so that they will be ready to take over once Connie's Designer Spotlight over at GP is complete.  You've got a super team of ladies coming your way in the weeks to come on Connie's blog - please make them feel as welcome as you have me.  

So ... this is my last official blog post as Connie's one-gal-blog-team.  I may pop up from time to time if one of the new girls needs a back up, you may see embossie freebies once in a while and - of course - you'll see my work coming through with each of Connie's new collections.  

I would like to end by thanking all of you - whether you've been reading since I started in August 2010 or if you just started reading today.  I've enjoyed sharing these moments with you.  And, also, to Conniekins - you're an inspiration and a kind, generous spirit.  So excited to continue our journey together, my friend.

Love,
Shari

Shari is there any way you can link these daily down loads to the product and Not your store...., This is the second day I had to miss because I just don't have the time to scroll all around your store.

Thanks
