Farewell 2013... Hello 2014!

Hello scrappy friends...

I have been thinking about my blog quite a bit and the fact that I have truly neglected it for two years. Seriously, has it been that long? Wow, it feels like just yesterday that I left the post regarding Sharon's giveaway. I decided that although I was not sure what was going to happen with my you tube channel that I did want to keep up with my blog. Life has truly become crazy and I can't seem to find the time to really keep up with it all. I surely haven't had the time to craft and / or sit in my room and pretend to try to craft (I always end up trying to organize). Hehehe...

With the new year I figured it would be a great time to start something new... I have always wanted to do it all. I say yes to everything and usually end up working to the very last minute to complete something. Well, this year I decided to try to just let it go. Do what I can, when I can. Not to feel so overwhelmed and to stop piling things on top of eachother. I found myself thinking of all this when it was so close to the end of 2013 and realized that once again I was doing it all at the last minute. So, I put things down and walked away. And it felt great. I realized that there is no situation that was urgent. My craft was supposed to be fun and I think I had lost sight of that.

Every year, I made a list of all the things that had to be completed around the house, the little errands that we keep putting off, the calls that we mean to place... even the papers we have in the file bin. It just all seems to add up. And guess what, I let it go.... Sure did! I looked around and said whatever is done is done and what is not will still be there tomorrow (2014). And now for my first step in my crafty world... my blog.

I started off by making some changes to the blog. You may not notice them because it has been so long since my last post but I am happy. I always felt as if the blog was not quite complete. I rushed to create my blog for a hop and never really learned how to play with it. So with my changes came this post. I don't know who will read it. It is super long, I know. But I am glad I am writing it. I already feel connected to my crafty world again and hope this will be the beginning of more posts as well as the start of my mojo kicking in.

But first, I want to thank you all for your support. I have grown so fond of the you tube community and hope this new venture into the bloggy world will continue to bless me with more scrappy friends. I truly want to wish you all a very happy, safe and healthy new year. May the Lord watch over you and continue to bless you throughout 2014 and always.

Scrappy hugs,

Jackie
