I can't believe it has been almost a week since I have posted here. I have been knee deep in wrapping up yearbook projects for the school that my kids attend... really knee-deep would have been ok, but it seemed more like-neck deep! It is sooo fun to do, but I am always glad to see the end product & hand it off to the kids. That leaves me with catching up to do here, in my flying lessons class & catching up on other people's blogs (which is frankly my favorite part!).
I have always been magazine-chaser. I love 'em, love 'em, love 'em. Blogs are really just an extension of that. BUT, I have always been a lurker. I almost never commented on other people's blogs. I just always thought, "Why would they care what a total stranger says?' but now I realize how fun it is to get a comment back. It's a totally different feeling and it really makes me want to blog. It makes it so much more fun.... I have to say, before I felt like that crazy person talking to herself!
This photo-free post seems somehow unfinished, but it will do for now. I'll try to edit later and add some pretty pictures. :)
hope you are getting caught up ok this week Noel! thanks for your lovely comments on my painting, you are so sweet. The yearbook projects sound like fun! :)
ReplyDeleteyes, you are out in full view! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your perspective on mama guilt over on "my place." It is amazing that no matter what we do, we are looking over our shoulders wondering "should I be doing this another way?" And as I dropped my daughter off at summer school this morning, she skipped inside and I thought "I wish I could spend my days here!" Balance and acceptance ...
glad you are enjoying Yarn harlot - she is such a hoot! And I learned a lot about different hand dyed yarn vendors ... I think your buttons would appear to the same audience that swoops in to buy the limited runs of hand dye color patterns. But save some buttons for me ...
yes, i am exactly like you- i used to never leave comments. but the cool stuff about blogs is the community,and if you never leave a comment, and no one else did, there wouldn't BE a community. so yes, we've all gotta do our part, huh?
