Ending
Hello my friends. You know I have been doing this for about 5 or6 years and I think I am finished. It has been so much fun to draw and to see what projects you all did with the dearies...but I just feel like I can't draw anything else. I will leave the page up and maybe check in from time to time. There is lots here to work with. I think I just about drew everything there is to draw. Thanks for all of the great comments and personal notes. You guys have been great. Friends all over the globe. It has truly warmed my heart. So thank you so much and many great and good things to you and yours.

THANK YOU Mary Ellen for your awesome art you created and which I have enjoyed very much.
ReplyDeleteHope you will find something new to do with your talents.
Glad you keep the freedeariedolls-site open, so all of us around on the planet may enjoy making cards etc. with your drawings.
Greetings from the Netherlands
Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you (should be five or six of these) for all your years of adorable images. I have used your digis on so many cards for my grandkids. I love coloring them and creating the cards. And thanks for leaving this page up so we can continue to be inspired. I will miss your posts; but I hope you enjoy the extra time you will have now. And, hopefully, you will "think" of new things to draw in the future. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteI have loved your drawings, and will miss seeing your new creations. Thank you for all you have done!

Mary Ellen, I understand your decision, but it makes me very sad. I have lots of your images, and lots of cards using them. The variety was amazing - even when you did similar ones you managed to include differences.
ReplyDeleteIf you change your mind, a lot of your fans will be around!
Thank you so much for your generosity, and for sharing your talent for so long.
So sorry to see you go.....I have saved many many of your adorable images and will use them for cards & scrapbook pages. I wish you all the best!
ReplyDeleteI make personal greeting cards and have incorporated many of your drawings and intend to keep using. Thanks for sharing your talent!

ReplyDeleteMary Ellen, I've been a silent but avid email subscriber and I just wanted to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all you have shared. I have a computer folder of your creations that is 450MB and has 1,255 items (I save the black n white and the colored one for reference). I shall always keep them and cherish them and give you credit whenever I use one. All good things must end, and Free Dearie Dolls is certainly a good thing! Enjoy, you earned it. xoxo

Warm greetings from Germany
Thank you!!! You have no idea how many people you have brightened the day for. Elderly, disabled, seniors, chemo patients etc...plus all the families, friends, doctors and nurses they share them with. And I have spent so very many happy hours each month coloring the 40-50 cards I send. Bless You now and every day ahead.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a pleasure to be the recipient of your talent and artwork. thank you for graciously sharing with all of us!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all that you have done. You artwork will continue to be shared, but the new work will be missed greatly. Please pop in here and keep us posted with what you are doing on your journey in life. You will be missed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary Ellen for sharing yourself with us. I love your designs and have used several of them on cards.
ReplyDeleteYou have been so kind and generous in sharing your talent with us. I feel badly that I have not thanked you every time I have used one of your graphics. I have been homebound much of the time, and just collecting your graphics in a special file has brought me lots of joy. They are often my go-to when I do have the energy to make a card or scrapbook page or two. You will continue to make me smile. May you have many happy days full of joy and smiles. Thank you. Hugz!
ReplyDeleteYou are so loved and will be missed, but your images (given to all of us with love) will live on. May God continue to bless you abundantly...as you have blessed us. Can't wait to meet you one day (in heaven). Hugs and love always.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all that you have done. I have made lots of cards with your images for the Cat Protection Charity and will for ever be grateful for your generosity and talent.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to you popping in from time to time.
Take care
Love Chrissie xx
I concur with what Suzi wrote. Thank you so much for your generosity! I have always loved your work. Especially the dogs and cats. The drawing of the two lovey-dovey cats is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYour work has always been an absolute joy, with wonderful images of all sorts with wonderful originality and a wide array of subjects. I am so happy you are leaving this blog open, as I'm sure there will be something I will be looking for and will find it here.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck, Good health and God Bless.
Faith
Thank you so much for your images and generosity. Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteI am sad to read that you will not be drawing any more Dearie Dolls - I have enjoyed them so much over the years. I know I haven't commented much but I always check to see what you've drawn.
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank you for all of your beautiful designs over the years - I remember how excited I was to discover your blog nearly 5 years ago when I started blogging! The cats have always been my favourites and of course the mice, but you have so many adorable designs that I love! The coffee ones stand out too!
Thank you for keeping the blog open as I know I will be back to download past designs when I'm looking for something in particular. This is an awesome resource, thank you!
You are a very talented designer and I hope you continue to have a creative outlet for your talents. I also hope you will drop in from time to time, as you mentioned, just to let us know how you're doing and what you've been up to.
I wish you much joy and many blessings!
Take care,
Kitty
Oh, I'm so sad to see you go but certainly do appreciate all the images you have given us. I use them almost exclusively on my Bunco sheets every month. Now what will I do? You deserve to "retire" though and I thank you so much for all the work you've done.
ReplyDeleteThis is a true loss to those of us who followed you for years... I will miss your drawings and your stories & adventures. Thank you for this gift you have given us for so long. May your new road bring you energy, excitement and peace of mind!

Thank you for sharing your talent and creativity over the years and for keeping the website up so that we may still enjoy your images!! Sincerely, Debbie Pokerwinski
ReplyDeleteThank you for your generosity! I enjoy using Dearie Dolls images on handmade cards.
ReplyDeleteI remember about 5 years ago you put out a request to get ideas for what we would like drawn. I told you about my son who was a VMI and that the freshmen were call "rats". I wanted a digi of a rat. You did that just for me and I made many cards for him and his classmates using that digi drawing. Thank you for your years of free drawings that have graced so many of my cards to family and friends. Thank you for leaving this page up so that we can continue to use these drawings. I will miss checking for the new drawings, but will treasure the old goodies! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMary Ellen, Oh, how I hate to see you go!! I have truly enjoyed every single piece of your artwork!! I have used numerous pieces of your work for Embroidery Patterns!! You are an amazing and generous person!! I say these things in the most sincere fashion! I am SURE I SPEAK FOR MANY, MANY OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FANS!! We will all miss you so very much! Thank you, from my heart for drawing my Daughter as the "female "Pharmacist"!! Our family and friends are very appreciative of your generosity with your artwork!!
