FTW: The year in review


I happened to be cleaning up, going through some old stuff and sorting my new stuff this past week when I found myself just sitting there staring at the bag of basing sand in my hands. I wondered what made it the best and what is it about FTW that makes it what it is. And then I got into thinking about the upcoming new year.

That's how it (the sand) was sold to me. The Best Basing Sand Ever.
To be quite honest, looks like regular sand to me.

So I emailed the person who sent it to me and they proceeded to tell me all it's finer qualities. It even works with white glue. I was sold.
Works with white glue? This stuff must be the best!

But there's more than one basing sand out there, just like blogs. There are hundreds of different basing sands out there. But what is it about the one you use or the blog you have that makes it what it is? That makes it stand out from the rest of the very same thing out there?

I had some long winded, two part post on the past year and all my big plans for the upcoming year and then I thought, who's gonna read all that? Would I just be rambling on and on because it's the end of the year and I feel obligated to post something like that?
You guys were here, you've made the journey with me.

What I do need to do is say Thank You to everyone. All you readers, lurkers, contributors, commenters, everyone out there for all that you've done. Without you guys, FTW would not be what is is today.

Thank you for a great year and here's to the next one.
