I've been sparse in blogland for a few weeks... for a couple of reasons. I've got to be honest here, the thing that got the ball rolling was due to the fact that we were without internet and cable for 11 days. Torture I tell you pure torture! I didn't realize how much I depend on those two things in my life. I also didn't realize how much I depend on you and again if I am being honest, my dependence had gotten to an unhealthy point.
This is not unique to me, I've read about it on one blog after another, BUT I thought it was only happening to them, NO, never me. Turns out being without it for those 11 days showed me something different. So, I don't know where I am going with this. I wish I had some great answer, I love blogging and the friends I've made. I've often said it's a little like jammin' in a band, it's fun to have all kinds of new and different people to "jam" aka craft and share with. BUT!!!! it has become a place of feeling less than, why would I want to continue to put myself thru that? So, if you don't see me around here that's what up, trying to get some perspective and do what's right for me!
The other thing that happened while without TV and internet is that I finally got around to making one of my dreams come true! I have dreamed for years of have craft nights at my house with a room full of girls. I bring the ideas and supplies you bring yourself and a little cash to pay for the supplies and we'll have a great night! I launched my first idea out there last week and my class is almost full!
I'm so stinking excited!!!
I would really like to do this once a week but we will see where it goes. So another reason why you might not see me on here as much. I've got to come up with some fabulous ideas! Check out our first craft....
Isn't it cute? It brings a smile to my face when I come up to my front door everyday.
And by the way I want to thank all of you who stop by and comment and support me and have become friends, I really do appreciate that you spend your precious time looking at my blog!

Oh Laura! I'd like to think that I'm perfectly healthy, but I don't know that I could go that long without "contact to the outside world!" :) The 3 weeks we had to wait for internet when we moved here years ago was torture....I didn't realize how much I relied on the internet for EVERYTHING: bills, movie times, directions....you name it.
I know that you know this, but you should NEVER feel like less than! YOU ARE AMAZING! My only guilt with blogging is that I can't be more consistent, but welcome to my life. Sometimes I have time, but usually I don't. I could never give it up completely, but it can never become full (or even PART) time. I'd rather be bust CREATING than busy SHARING.....does that make sense?
Sending love your way, girl.
Good for you! I admire your going for it. I wish I was in the area to join in... I'm sure it will be a blast & productive! Blessings in your new adventure!!!
WONDERFUL Post.thanks for share..
Laura - I hear you! Been backing off a little bit and finding balance myself. Trying to find myself in my "real" life a little better. And, look at you, you did just that - filled a dream in the touch and feel world - that is so incredibly awesome and inspiring for the rest of us!
Take care,
Laura
Oh I wish I could come! That wreath is adorable! Great idea. I know exactly what you mean about the time factor. It bothers me too. I'm constantly re-evaluating. Every time I take a break, I lose followers. What's up with that? But I refuse to be a slave to daily blogging. I'm in the process of moving so after I get all my party pics up, I'll be sparse myself.
Have a great weekend!
