Alright...for crying out loud...

So....Busy I was.
I actually got to the point where I was overwhelmed by the thought of starting the blog/s. I don't know why...it was just too much...

I have SOOOOOOOO many crafty thoughts in my head, things I want to do, to accomplish! I mean so many I am bursting...and I thought this would make me want to complete them...a goal and reason to do and complete them. I was excited, as I read, EVERYDAY, my favorite inspiring blogs...and I have SOOOOO many! I mean, I have a whole list that is not on my blogroll, just because I haven't taken the time to put them on.

Anyway, I am so inspired! Every single day by these many ladies, and I just wanted to be one of them....maybe be able to inspire someone else in the process.

With that...I cook 99.9 percent of days. Many, and I do mean, many of my meals are created in my head...and those that aren't are often FABULOUS recipes that I would love to share with the world. I have a couple of recipe blogs that I follow, and I am inspired by them as well.

That said...it was my goal to join the ranks.
Coupled with that was the inpiration of printing a blog book, brought on first by my friend Lisa, and second by my bloggy friend Sarie. I would love to print out all of my crafts and recipes at the end of the year! How satisfying that would be. Of course, with my family blog as well!

I got to the point of coming up with a creative name for my "baby"...and I just blocked. Everytime, and I mean EVERY SINGLE time I put one it it was already taken by someone who opened their blog in 2004, wrote on it once, and then never did again.
I got so frustrated.

Then...the kids got sick, ...I had a couple of projects to do for Ty's teacher...and, as usual...time got away from me. I cook daily (as usual)...but between this, that, and the other, I haven't had any time to do any projects.

What I did decide...is that I am going to start ONE blog. On it, I will put up good recipes and my projects or inspiration. The plan was to do two...but I will end up not being able to keep at this point in my life.

Right now...I am planning a birthday party for a certain little girl who is going to be 4! Can't wait!

SOOOOO sorry for the LOOOOOONG post that was very "rambly" as I look back....but I just needed to rant a little, in order to organize my own thoughts....

The name has been decided...now I just need to design the blog. :)
Thanks for listening...

So Busy....

I have been busy....

Busy setting up a couple of new blogs...
I am planning and changing, tweaking and renaming...
Designing, and well....ummmm....redesigning.

I have also been soooooo busy reading all of my favorite blogs (and adding to my ever-growing list of "to-do projects"), and creating my new blogs that I have been ignoring this blog...

I will get my groove...Maybe.

To come...soon...
A craft blog AND a recipe blog!

Yay!
