Thanks for a great 2009!
Welcome to another “You’re Talented Thursday” here on the blog!

In addition to all of the weekly challenges, we’ve had some exciting happenings at heroarts.com this past year! Back in March we celebrated the one year anniversary of the blog. In July, the blog and website received a makeover and we opened our new online store. In the Fall we reached a Flickr milestone — 2000 members! At the time of this writing, there are 26,556 member-submitted works of art in the Hero Arts Flickr group. And just last Friday, we hosted our first ever blog hop to celebrate the launch of the 2010 catalog. Through it ALL, you’ve been here — visiting, leaving words of kindness, creating, inspiring, and spreading the joy of stamping. We thank you for sharing your time, your talent, and your enthusiasm with us. Here’s to more fun and creativity in 2010!
With gratitude and our warmest wishes for a wonderful holiday,

It has been awhile since I stamped, but your site is such a fresh inspiration that I may have to get in gear. I’m hoping that the blog hop that I missed is still on here where we can still see all of the wonderful projects and how they are done. Looking forward to all that Hero Artists have to share for 2010! Thank you for all of your inspiration and great ideas!
