My “State of the Blog” Address

You may have (or not) noticed that I have pretty much been MIA on this blog for the past few months.  I can come up with all sorts of excuses as to why I haven’t maintained this blog like I did for the first two or three years, but the truth is I just really didn’t have it in me to blog.  It really fell to the last thing on my “to-do” list.  Of course, I have still been reading my long list of favorite blogs and popping in on Facebook and Pinterest, but I haven’t been sharing much here.

I have been struggling lately about what I want to do with this blog, what I want its “purpose” and “message” to be.  I have even thought about just quitting posting altogether.  The blogs I most enjoy reading not only share fun projects, yummy recipes, and useful tips, but also give me a peek into the writer’s life.  So I think I want this blog to become a little more personal in content.  I will still post about whatever home or craft projects I’m working on, what’s new in my Etsy shop, and the occasional recipe or tutorial, but you may also see more personal details and the highs and lows I’m experiencing.  That may consist of long ramblings or short quick posts with just a photo or phrase, who knows!

If you’d like to stick around with me on this journey, I’d love to have you stay on as a follower.  I’ll try to be more regular in my posts, and by “regular” I mean at least once or twice a week!

So, to get started, here are some recent highs…..

So that’s where I’m at.  Who knows what 2012 has in store for all of us!
