Well Happy Birthday! Thank you for all your wonderful posts – all read with much anticipation and enjoyment every day!
Happy Blog Birthday to one of my favorite sites! I always look forward to seeing what treasure you’ve dredged up — often some of my already found loves, but sometimes an incredible artist new to me, whose work on the web will excite, inspire and enliven my artistic day.
I make art! The medium is always open, although I my big loves are glass, metal and fiber.
I just love 3 my favorite number.
I was there for your first steps haven’t missed a day except when my computer died on me and even then used the library.
Can’t live without you and all I discover through you eyes!
You have opened my world . A big hug and a huge thank you goes with this birthday message to you.
Chag Sammeach to DAM! (Happy birthday in Hebrew) I am so happy I found this blog way back then! Thank you for sharing your journey through websites with us

Again, Happy Birthday, and I just wanted you to know that I send out the link to your site at least once a week to many friends and artists I know — I hope it helps you and helps them, too — the posts are too wonderful not to share. I know it’s awakened many of them to things they never imagined, as it has me, and inspired them to greater visions. You can bet I’ll continue to do so! Congrats, again!
Sue
Susan,
Congrats and Happy Birthday! You have one of the best bogs around. You are a gift to us all!!!

I don’t work in a particular medium, although for the past few years I’ve been so busy exploring polymer clay that I haven’t come up for air yet and have therefore given the impression of being a polymer clay artist.
Oh Susan, you darling little cupcake sprite old soul forever-young woman, my life would not be nearly as fun without Da Muse.
This is funny — *I* was gonna post “supercalifragilasticexpialidocious”, too! Just for a joke, since I don’t have any need for ad space! Darn it, Kathy!!!
For the Craftcast class, I work primarily in polymer clay, but I am moving into adding silver. (Big Tim McCreight fan. I have a couple of his books…)
i work in polymer clay, metal and bookbinding.
happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!!!! Love DAMuse!!! I work primarily in PMC and would LOVE to win the class with Tim!!! Thanks for having the contest!
This is so wonderful. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this giveaway!
I am very interested in the Craftcast class with Tim McCreight. Recently I have added to the mediums I work with and now I am doing art jewelry with sterling silver. I have several of Tim’s books and enjoy his work a great deal.
Thanks again and happy birthday a bit late!

Much love

Hi Susan.
Happy Blog Birthday! Love reading DAM–very inspirational. For some reason, what I really like is the “tidbits” area off to the side, little pictures of groovy things.
