Hello Everyone,
I want to wish every journaller a very Happy 3rd Anniversary. I`m really pleased that journals are still going strong after 3 years, although at the time I started I had know idea I would still be writing mine, let alone have any readers! I started mine at the suggestion of Jeannette (Jottings). She helped me enormously, giving me tips about what would be of interest to others, explaining how to find and use graphics, down to how to promote it so others could find me. So before I go on, thank you so much Jeannette for your help and friendship over the last three years.
I`ve met so many nice people along the way and I like to think of them as friends although we haven`t yet met, like Jeannette of course, Jan, Ally, Jeannette (Travels), Joyce, Lisa Jo and Linda from the USA. I won`t mention any more names because there are so many of you ,and with my memory I`m bound to forget some of you and don`t want to leave anyone out. I`ve been writing in my journal since August 16th 2004 and like many of you I`ve seen journals come and go. It is always a pity when someone stops writing without saying goodbye, of course it`s their choice but a pity no less. So many of you have carried on and made a real impression and I often can`t wait to hear what`s coming next, being a nosey person of course. Each journal creates a personality for the reader because each of you has a unique style, so long may you all continue so I can know you better.
As you know, just one year ago, Roman my first grandson was born, changing the theme of my journal forever. Most of you have seen the photos and read the progress reports so you know the state of his health, how many teeth he has, when he first sat up as you read it. I know I talk incessantly about him but he is the light of my life and I`m proud to do so. It`s impossible to be around him and be miserable for very long. So that was what my last year in J-Land was all about, just in case you were in any doubt!
This afternoon while reading your entries I was so impressed by them all, by the time I got to Jeannette`s (travels) entry I had almost run out of things to say, the standard was so good. So again, Happy Anniversary to you all dear friends.

Beautiful entry Sandra. I am honoured to have helped you in whatever way because I consider your journal to be one of the very best. Being a grandparent also changed my journal a great deal as you know but how could we not write about our little angels. This is a wonderful community and I am so proud to count you and others amongst my friends and I truly mean friends.

Great entry Sandra, I have enjoyed reading your journal so much. First I learned all about your children and Jake and now Roman and I have loved every bit of getting to know your family. Hugs, Helen
The best part about journaling is by far the friends!!!
Big Hugs!

I enjoyed reading your entry today! I think I found you thru Jeannette at Jeannette's Jottings. I think she's the Godmother of JLand. She was so kind to introduce so many lovely ladies from Britian to me. I have so enjoyed getting to know you thru your entries. As a grandma, too, I do enjoy seeing Roman grow up. He's so cute!

It's been so nice over the past year getting to know everybody and especially watching little Roman grow! J-Land is such a great community, probably unique on the web! We seem to know each other better than we do our neighbours! Jeannette xx http://journals.aol.co.uk/jlocorriere05/Welcometomytravels
Hi Sandra. I've only known you for 4 months. Roman has grown so much during that short time. It's unbelievable. I've loved reading about your life and family. So glad I made a nice friend across the pond.
Hugs to you..........Pamela
It's been a great journey and yes, we have made so many new friends and dipped into their different lives.What a great family...
