Hummm are YOU lurking

I just discovered something. You can actually make your blog PRIVATE and open to invitation only! I have been wrestling with the idea for the last five minutes. Does it seem a bit snooty? Does is seem smart, safer somehow? Or does it seem rude? I have decided that anyone who wants to can look at my wonderful grandchildren, the cat, the cards I make etc. So my message to YOU if you are lurking out there is 'come on in, say hi and don't be afraid to post, or not, it's up to you. I write this for myself, the kids, and a few friends but if one sweet picture makes YOU smile then I did a good thing today. So welcome new or/ old friend.
