So I haven't been on here in over a year... I could give you a million excuses as to why, but I don't even know the actual reason :/ I got busy in life and let this slip away from me and I sort of regret it. While it was fun to think that I could do a challenge a week, I simply couldn't and it became more of a chore than a fun thing to do to get my creative juices flowing.
While I haven't really been crafting in my time away, I have had a lot going on. My grandpa passed away, I have attended Origins twice, went to Florida and Las Vegas, got a promotion at work and have moved with my family from Burlington back to Crestview to the house that we lived in when I was younger (weird, I know, but it's also really cool). After a lot of thinking, I don't want this blog to just be about crafts. I want it to be about my life and the crafty things that I get to do while living it.
That being said, I hope that I will be more proactive in posting things and maybe that will lead to me doing more crafty things because that's what this was all about in the first place. My creativity is far reaching, ranging from making cards to painting to making jewelry to sewing and random other things (anyone remember the mustache keychain I made?!?). To me, writing is one of the many creative things in my bag of tricks and, since high school, I've had the urge to write, so this, along with another more private endeavor, will hopefully satisfy the "itch" that I have to write something. I have also come to realize that I love to journal and often times I find myself thinking of things that I should write about, but never get the chance to write down. I'm paranoid that if I start an actual journal or diary, someone will find it or see me writing in it and ask to see what it is so I'm hoping this will help with all that going on in my crazy brain and, since no one in my family knows about my blog, I don't have to censor what I say.
So here's to a new beginning and hopefully a fun time writing about my life and the crazy things that go on inside my head...
