Creating a channel, planting a seed..

See it grow, water it, let other people nurture it.

Let others see it grow, or witness it alone.

Dear Lisa, thank you for the lovely message! It certainly made my day :-) <3 I'm so glad you enjoyed my channel, although I haven't added to it in a while. I'm going to have a snoop around your channels as well-- you have so many!

and no worries: not stealing the idea from me at all! in fact, I stole the idea from many other people, but I suppose that's how it tends to go :P I'll connect this channel to another where you can find many more inboxes <3
