I'm going to take a bit of time off from blogging again.
I know, my blog has been a bit of a roller-coaster ride this last year with lots of ups & downs in regards to how frequently I post. And I wish I could be more consistent (like I used to be) but alas...my heart is just not in it right now.
Nothing is wrong.
In fact, things are quite good (so don't worry.)
And I love you guys for riding this ride with me.
(Just one of Yannie that makes me really happy.)
Will be back.


I for one will miss you.. your images are such an inspiration to me.

I know you have a lot of followers that will be quite concerned if you stop posting for a bit, but I don't think you should ever feel like you have to apologize for it. We all have lives that interrupt or hijack the things we'd like to do, and quite frankly it's your blog and you can do what you want to. ;-) Enjoy your time!

Posted by: Tina | August 16, 2010 at 05:15 PM
Enjoy your blogcation!!!

You are like...Blog Queen as far as I'm concerned. How you find the time to write & edit for your blog and do everything else you do on top of that is amazing to me. I have trouble keeping up even a smidgen (Is that a word?). I feel guilty when I haven't blogged in awhile. But I remind myself that my blog is more for my kids (plan on printing blurb books for them) than anyone else. It should feel fun, not stressful. Enjoy your time away. Your loyal fans will be here waiting when you get back. :)

You will definitely be missed but I know what it's like to not feel inspired or motivated. I hope you can take the time off and maybe one day it will be in your heart again. Feel free to throw up a picture any time you want....no words necessary:)
