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...

I can't wait to see the new blog Raelyn! I know how frustrating that can be to have so many ideas in your head and not be able to execute them all at once! I think you've got the right idea though, taking on one project on at a time.
You will get all those ideas out and accomplished, I just know it. And when you do, you'll have lots of eager eyes and ears waiting to see what brilliant things you've done!!
But you do know though that you already do so much, and have executed so many amazing.....creative projects??!! You have! You are very inspiring Raelyn...so don't be so hard on yourself :)
I remember I had a time when I first started my blog that I felt I had to measure up to all of the amazing blogs out there. I realized I was starting to blog for someone other than myself and when I did that the joy of blogging left. I put my blog to private and was able to relax because it was once again just for me.
Now I'm not saying that you shouldn't try to create something wonderful that others will enjoy; but if you do just remember who its for and do it to make you happy and everything will fall into place.
You are so creative and I look forward to seeing all of the wonderful ideas!
