Putting Myself in Time Out

November 29, 2010

Sharing is caring!

I have blogged nearly every weekday for like the last four months.  That takes some serious dedication, people!  And I feel more than entitled to a break.  But yet I can’t seem to take one, because I actually love to blog…just to write to a reading audience.  

I was writing a note to Sandra from Sawdust & Paperscraps about blogging…this is word for word taken out of my email to her:

” I would think that our readers are getting a little sick of seeing giveaways and Christmas crafts anyway, wouldn’t you?  I totally am.  I would like to see more personal sharing posts about what Christmas means to you, best Christmas memories, etc. on everyone’s blogs.  Is that weird?  I know they are ‘craft’ blogs but sometimes the crafting world is just too competitive and you need to take a break and remove yourself from all of it.  And just share.”  

 So I’m going to be doing a lot more ‘sharing’ and a little less ‘crafting’ for awhile.  I am up to my ears in work for my Etsy shop and really don’t have much extra time for crafts right now anyway.   Christmas is just a stressful time, right?!  So sometimes I might get a little too personal or venty or whatever, and feel free to skip.  But you’ll keep being my friend won’t you?  🙂

Ultimately 
Christmas 
is about 
Jesus Christ.  
And I want to remember Him 
most throughout 
this season. 

  Love you guys!!

    Well, honestly, I'm NOT getting tired of giveaways, but I am (nearly) nice enough to agree that a "time out" can be good. I can help by agreeing to be declared THE WINNER of anything and everything you're giving away. That would be easier, wouldn't it? 😉

    (mostly) kidding!!! Take a deep breath and relax.

    Peace!

    Amen!

    Giveaways and crafts are alot of fun, but they are not what this season is about. It is about the birth of our Lord and a time to gather with family and friends.

    Merry Christmas!

    I'll be your friend :-). I have a crafty blog too, and I do get a little overwhelmed with trying to keep my personal life out of it sometimes. But then I think, it's my blog…why can't I be personal?! When I do post personal things, I get a few comments on it, so at least like 5 of my readers like it! Haha! I think it's great to have a 'real' blog where you post 'real' things. I look forward to your sharing!

    I love seeing everybody's ideas, however I somewhat agree with you. Just thinking about trying to do everything and finding new crafts to post about can feel overwhelming. If you're not enjoying it, don't do it. I look forward to reading about you and the joys of Christmas and why we have this wonderful holiday.

    I totally agree! I think we get so caught up in all the things we need to craft, and buy and so on that we forget what Christmas is REALLY about! It should be a time of family, and remembering the real reason for the season, so bring on the break time!

    My niece said to a lady asking her about Santa letters, "Christmas is about God!" We so often forget this. Good to remind us all.

    I really agree with you on this:) I mean…I know giveaways are fun every now and then…but sometimes its all thats on blogs anymore. I love when blogs have a balance of crafts and who that person is too…so good for you in taking a break! Its so important to focus on other things so you don't get burnt out. I can't wait to see more of what you post while you take a little break from crafting:)
