I’ve updated the look of the website to be more navigational. I also added a logo {finally} to the site. Here is the new menu bar. All my projects can be accessed in the drop down menu.

Do you like the new look? How about the logo?

Hi there! I made some changes to the site, mainly a new look. I’ve been looking around for THE one. And this might just be it! Do you like it? I’m still making a few tweaks to it so bare with me.

Hope you are having a fantastic weekend. I surely am!!  My weekend is packed but in a good way with seeing friends and family that I haven’t had time to hang out with and doing some late spring cleaning.

Cleaning is a drag but it’s gotta be done, right? I like the feeling after I’m done cleaning .. you know the time where you don’t want to touch anything so that it stays in a pristine condition? Yea, that’s what I’m talking about. It almost feels as good as the time after rain showers.

What are those small things that make you happy? What are you doing this weekend?

I’ve been gone. I know. I’m sorry .. But let me tell you that I’m glad to be back!

Let me explain to you what caused me to stop blogging after only a few posts.

1. I’m a writer (not professionally), I like to write. But there’s a down side. I spend lots of time perfecting my writing.

2. Daily posts became a bit too overwhelming for me. Yes, many people do it, but between working full time, cooking meals, crafting, spending time with the hubster, living life, and trying to get enough sleep I found it far to taxing.

3. A bit about my personality: once too overwhelmed it takes me a while to come back and give a clean start.Hence, after two weeks of blogging, I stopped for four months.

Sooooo .. to make this easier on me but still be able to share thoughts and findings with all of you here’s the plan:

For now, I will post at least once a week. Once I get a handle on things, I’ll increase the frequency and we’ll go from there.

One thing I do want to tell you before I leave is .. I have TONS of things planned to share with you.

Thanks for understanding!

Thanks for reading.
