I'm so glad we had this time together :-)

[Loni W.]

That song from the Carol Burnett show years ago has been going through my head today, thus the title of this topic...

Well, two days to go until I hit 365 photos. What a year it's been! To everyone who has taken the time to comment or even just take a look at my photos, I thank you so much! Your kind words and support have been something I've looked forward to every day for the past year. It's going to be hard to take a break from the project, even for a short time, but I definitely have to. Family obligations and the holidays are taking over my life right now, so photography will be taking a back seat until January. I will, however, keep my account open and will be lurking around checking out my friends' photos :-)

I haven't had the time these last few months to make many comments, but I've definitely still been looking at others' photos. This website has an extremely talented group of people! And I defintely am happy that everyone on here has been so nice - everyone seems to have a great rapport and we all seem to treat each other with respect, no matter what. I can honestly say I've not personally had a negative moment on here in the past year! THAT is what will keep me coming back. Thanks to Ross for all of his hard work in keeping this website going!

I'm on facebook, so look me up if you want to stay in touch. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1316023350

Take care everyone and I'll definitely be back!

Loni

you were one of the first people I started following so I will definitely miss you and your pictures but I understand!! Congrats on finishing the project!!
Merry Christmas and hopefully I will see your pictures again in January!! My year ends 12/31 but I think I'm going to try to keep it going...we will see!! :)

Come on everybody!!

There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "cuckoo"
[Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:]
Cuckoo, cuckoo

[Children: Marta, Gretl, Brigitta: ]
Regretfully they tell us Cuckoo, cuckoo
But firmly they compel us Cuckoo, cuckoo
To say goodbye . . .
[Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:]
Cuckoo!
[Children:]
. . . to you

[Children:]
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night
[Marta:]
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

[Children:]
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
[Friedrich:]
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu

[Children:]
So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
[Liesl:]
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne

[Children:]
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
[Kurt:]
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye -- Goodbye!
[Brigitta:]
I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie
[Louisa:]
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly
[Gretl:]
The sun has gone to bed and so must I

[Children:]
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Guests:]
Goodbye!

Take care Loni, enjoy the break!

[Chris]

Well, as you know, you and I started on the same day. You were my first follower. I will likely post something like this too.

[Loni W.]

@moncooga You absolutely should post something on your last day :-) You gotta say goodbye!

[bruni]

All of us will miss you and like you said hopefully you'll be back next year. I wish you and your Family a Wonderful Christmas and all the Best for the coming New Year.

[Cynthia C.]

[Gemma Johnson]

Have a great Christmas, hurry back for sure!!

[Tanya]

You were one of the first people I started following too and have been a real inspiration. Have a great holiday season...hope to see more of your creativity and colour next year! Merry Christmas.

[Melissa Pike]

First off, congrats on hitting 365! I've enjoyed following your beautiful work, and I hope to see you back after the holidays and after thing settle down.

[Autumn Eden]

Ah! I am going to miss you! I have sent you a request through Facebook and look forward to seeing your beautiful photos here again very soon! In the meantime, ENJOY!!! You have so much wonderful stuff in front of you. Lucky!!!

[Loni W.]

@bruni Oh bruni; I'll miss you're thoughtful comments. See ya in the new year! @maola @jennarichards @gemgem24 @palusami @melissapike @autumnseden and to everyone else.....

Thanks everyone! It's because of all of you that I HAVE to come back. This place has become such a part of my life over this past year, I can't imagine never interacting with you guys again!

[Sydney B]

Congrats!!! Love your work, Loni. Good luck to ya!

[Kathy A]

Congratulations on reaching 365 days - well done. You will be missed Loni.

[Carlita Edwardo]

@edpartridge funnie (again)

[Matt M (lintbrush)]

Man, seems like everyone's journey is ending before mine :(. I've also been more of a lurker lately, but definitely have been admiring all of your photos. Thanks for inspiring me with your comments and amazing photos. Take care Loni and have a great holiday season.

p.s. - I'm still going to attempt a whisk and water shot so will reference your project for help. Gotta aim high, right? :).

[Sue Stephenson (Swazzette)]

Well, I must admit, Long, that I am thinking I might have to do this myself come the end of this month. I have had such a wonderful time on 365, but I also would love to focus on some other projects in the new year and am thinking of taking a break...YET...I can't imagine not communicating with all of the wonderful people like you that I have met on this site...and not seeing the wonderful photos. Therefore, like yourself, I plan to also keep one foot in the door. With that said, have a great holiday, Loni, and we'll be seeing you around the 'hood! :--)

[Loni W.]

@lintbrush Hey, clue me in when you do your whisk shot! I don't wanna miss it!

Thanks for the good wishes everyone!

@Swazzette Thanks for always commenting Sue. I hope you'll think hard about jumping in again!
