When Julia first asked me to become a contributor, I'm embarrassed to say I almost declined. I'm shy - painfully shy - and tutorials involve talking (of a sort) which is definitely not my forte. But I'd been lurking on the site for over a year, taking inspiration and learning from all the photos, blog posts, and questions. It felt wrong not to give some of that back. So, I squashed my fear and agreed. I'm so glad I did because I have truly never met a kinder, more welcoming community of people.
I really love and appreciate being a part of Cookie Connection. Thank you, Julia, for pushing me out of my comfort zone. Thank you, guys, for your supportive comments. And a big thank you to the larger community for all the inspiration you post on this site.
