Soartful changes and freebies

As many of you know i have struggled this year to do so much online due to unforseen circumstances and altho i spent a lot of time creating and making seperate blogs and challenges, i was able to do them as was at home with little to do then. Now though, i have become a part time carer and have less than half that time available to me and i have struggled.
I love love love doing the challenges i have and also my art and news when i have time but its time to make some changes to ensure it doesnt all become a chore.
I love to give away my images at art freebies as well as run a darkside challenge and my arty retreat which is a personal blog, also i have my art from the scrapheap which is for recycling in art and more which i wont even mention. In addition to this i have my own digital images website and craft forum to run .. and i could go on ...

So i am going to try and make things a little easier for myself but in doing so i need your help too. I have decided to combine some of my blogs and condense into a maximum of three. Lots will go but i will keep the challenges and the art freebies. I am going to combine Soartful with Art freebies which is a different google account so i need you all to pop over there and add yourself to follow. Click on the art freebies logo below please. Then as from Saturday 16th May The soartful challenge will continue from there. NOTHING ELSE will change so the challenge will be added every saturday as usual.

I hope this is not too much trouble for everyone and i truly hope you will keep on doing the soartful challenges.

Soartful Saturday challenge

First of all i would like to say a huge thank you to all of you who have expressed your interest and given your support to soartful after my last post. I was feeling at a low due to the flu i have been suffering with and i guess that didnt help in keeping my thoughts to myself but i am glad in a way that i did mention that i may be giving this one up as it showed me how much some of you are enjoying the challenges and thats so lovely. I really appreciate all your kind words and for the moment will carry on with the challenges.
I have 9 blogs and a crafting forum plus i am writing a book and running two web sites so as you can imagine, i have plenty to keep me occupied but i love what i do and setting the challenges and if they are working ... well its worth the time. So we will move onwards ....
