Welcome to Litsy!

2021 has been a rough year for me and my family. Lots of loss and sadness. As I‘ve been reflecting on the year and picking out bright spots, Litsy and the friends I‘ve made here keep popping up. When days were long and dark, I‘d browse through posts here and always find something to make me smile. So, friends, thank you for sharing your silliness, your kindness, your humor, and your friendship. It made a difference.

Hiya everyone, Would you please give a warm welcome to my friend @Lena4 who is brand new to Litsy? 😁 #litsywelcomewaggon

@BethM I‘m home from work sick with an awful headache cough and sore throat! I just remembered the eye mask you made for the #witchpleaseswap and it is perfect for this moment. I had to say thank you again!
@aprilpohren I just realized I‘m using the blanket you sent in the book and blanket swap! So thankful for Litsy on this sickly day.

@Trashcanman Thanks for the postcard! I actually collect postcards and have a display of them in my house. #jb mail is the best! 📬💌

Thank you all so much for your messages! I feel so warm and fuzzy right now because of all your lovely comments - #Litsylove ❤️ So I‘m back after we‘ve settled most stuff for my father in law but may not be super active in the next few weeks. We‘re currently waiting for him to get a place in a hospice and as the hubs is at the hospital every day to be with him, all the everyday stuff has fallen to me obviously. But I‘m happy to be back here! 😍

Oooh, @Avanders , you‘re spoiling me so much. Thank you for these wonderful goodies. I was squeaking like a crazy person when I saw these. I‘ve been coveting Melmoth so much, and the rest looks awesome as well. Love the bag and the journals and the stickers. You are the best!!! ❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘

This week's fabulous #jb mail, thanks to @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @tracey38 @JoScho @knittedgnome! Responses going out tomorrow, as well as tons of postcards #justbecause. 📬💌

Congratulations and thanks for the giveaway @Sarah83 ! I love how supportive the Litsy community is. Everyone is so friendly and respectful, even when they disagree. It's such a breath of fresh air! #2000thpostofsarah83

Recent #jb Litsy love! Thanks @Julie123 @Amabear @olivia.ferz @BookwormAHN @Bronte_Chintz 📬💌

I just got a friend on litsy today her name is @Candy . she needs new friends so anyone interested please follow her

Look what I found in my postbox today!!! I couldn‘t make it to the Litsy meet-up in Hamburg on the weekend so @Heideschrampf @julesG (with her kids) @Maike @DuckOfDoom and @SaskiAh sent me this beautiful postcard as an early birthday greeting. Thank you so much, guys, you rock!!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️

#bookmail part 2 of 2. A wonderful little surprise from @Cathythoughts 😄 Thank you!
I love the little cross stitch! My mums first initial is J and her birthday is coming up so I see being a card in this little bears future.
My toddler loves the bookmark, as do I! Pink is currently his favourite colour.
#litsyfam

Congrats on your Milestone @parttimedomestic Thank you for the generous giveaway!!

Before joining Litsy I only had a couple friends who liked reading as much as I do. Now I have a whole community who shares my passion!!! Everyone here is so positive and supportive, it's such a great thing to be a part of. As an introvert, it's kind of Heaven on Earth. 😄📚💕

#beforeandafter

I got some very sweet #Litsymail today!! Thank you so much @Kaye for the thoughtful card and beautiful bookmark! Your kind words mean so much to me!! ❤️
@prettybooknerd thank you very much for the letter my awesome penpal!! I have loved seeing the pics of Abby!
I love being a part of this wonderful community!!

I met a new friend who loves to read as much as i do!!!! Shes coming over to talk books and drink tea this afternoon! So excited!

Just wanted to give a quick shoutout to everyone who participated in #TuesdayTidbits today. When I created today's questions, I honestly wasn't trying to make everyone sad with question number 3 (I had horror books and movies on the brain and I think I was thinking about those sorts of things when I came up with that question). Just wanted to say I love you all and you are a strong and awesome group of people, so happy to know you all! ❤️❤️❤️Hugs!

#newlitsyfriends @Bookworm83 a fellow book & basset hound lover and I happened to find each other on Litsy through a swap and have since become friends. I am proud to say that our adorable basset hounds are now long distance internet sweethearts. I‘m so happy to have met both Erin and Lulu 🐾. Only another basset owner can truly understand a basset‘s stubborn and goofy antics. @squirrelbrain #litsygiveaways
