These scrap bangles from Australia’s Debbie Crothers have a party vibe! Don’t you love those gold leafed and Jones-Toned dots that she tossed on to fill in the gaps? Debbie took her not- quite-right pile and turned it into something great that suits my mood as I celebrate post 2000 today. We’ve gotten bolder and better!
I jumped in the wayback machine and looked at the September 2005 posts. The photos were much smaller. Remember, we had tiny monitors then. Most of the links work!
Can you believe this tame and subdued early mosaic from Laurie Mika? She’s surely embraced color and claimed her own style in a big way since then. We’ve come a long way, baby!
Thanks to you faithful readers for helping to turn that early not-quite-right blog into something very good and have a great weekend. Happy 2000.

Fabulous bangles from Debbie. And …Congratulations, Cynthia. We all certainly have come a long way together. Many of us would not or could not have done it without you. And no way would it have been nearly as fun without you and your “little” blog. Thank you so very, very much from a very grateful fan.

Congratulations on PCD’s 2000th post, Cynthia, and thank you for being the polymer clay community’s best ambassador. Here’s to many, many more posts of discovering and sharing.

Congratulations on the 2000th! That is quite an accomplishment. I haven’t been following quite that long, but I am always amazed and intrigued and blown away by the talent that I see showcased here. It makes me think that I really do need to take a class with someone talented like yourself one day so that I can fully appreciate the nuances of this medium because there are surely no limits to what can be achieved with it! Here’s to 2000 more posts! Enjoy the day. Erin

Where would we be without PCD?! For most of us it is as essential a part of the morning as coffee and a good-morning kiss. Thanks for bringing us ‘soul food’ for breakfast!
Debbie—LOVE these. So cool and yeah, you had me at scrap.

Donna ,
Great bangles Deb and well done Cynthia. Polymer clay Daily is one of my first visited web sites on a daily basis. You serve our polymer community so well.
Tracy + Dan ,
Your mention of this milestone in yesterday’s post was impressive news, but even more resonating was today’s reference to the ‘wayback’ date of September 2005. In a time when many of us can’t keep focused on one thing for longer than a minute, your ‘stick-to-it’ commitment to PCD for the better part of a full decade is undeniably meritorious. For all you’ve done to shine a spotlight on our medium, gracias por los dos mil!

Congrats on Post 2000~ now if I can only figure out to get to your archives
Laurie Mika ,
Congratulations Cynthia…..incredible how the time has flown by….evidenced by that VERY early mosaic you posted! Thanks for the memories…..it is so nice having your wonderful site as a great resource and an archive for all of us polymer clay lovers. Here’s to the next 2000 posts!
Lee Luda ,
I may have been late to the party (found this site in 2012) but better late than never. This is my go-to place for inspiration, and knowing this to be Post 2000 is inspiring, too. Congratulations on your remarkable achievement.
Pamela Carman ,
Cynthia, thank you for PCD. You provide a daily source of ‘oohs’ and ahhs and ‘what ifs?’ Congratulations on 2000!
Linda Garbe ,
I have always admired those who produce any product on a regular schedule. Years ago I wondered at how writers produced a newspaper day in and day out. Now I am in awe of the information and inspiration you send day.
Congratulations and thanks

Sabine Spiesser ,
Congratulations Cynthia, Your blog has been my much anticipated source of inspiration ever since I picked up clay. I will never forget that you featured my crazy beginner caterpillar. Many people have felt the joy and fuzzy warmth of “having been discovered” by you and featured for the world at large to participate. Your blog is probably the greatest asset our community has. 2000! I hope there will be so many wore to come. Studio Mojo is my weekly fix!
Deb’s bangles are fabulous, I keep looking at them. They draw you in and invite you to explore what’s around the curve. There is some sense of mystery and also spontaneity in the irregular yet flowing design. Can’t wait to see where you will take the design next Deb.
Dorothy Siemens ,

Dede Leupold ,
Debbies bangles are great and very inspiring to me. Its going to make me think twice about my scraps!
Cynthia, congrats on your 2,000th post! At my first time of going to Pingree in 2005, I remember the morning so well. We were in the cabin waking up with our coffee and you were brainstorming with us about your idea for the PCD blog. The excitement of it was exhilarating, and got our day off to a wonderful start! I feel so privileged to be at the beginning of its conception and to know you. Thank you for being the advocate you are for us! You are an amazingly talented woman! And….love your sense of humor too!
