Blogging Schedule Change (to every other day) :O)


I'll be blogging every other day instead of daily.
(I'll probably sneak extra posts in there though!) ;O)

I've been feelin' a little burnt out health-wise for a while & been racking my brain about whether or not to change my blogging schedule. I've finally come to a conclusion: less is more. What I mean is that I can do more if I blog less, LOL. ;O)

Why? I've been falling behind in blurfin' (droolin' over & commenting on blog buddy's blogs)...I get a fair amount of requests for custom templates and I'm slipping behind in that area too...I've been feeling like I'm in a flower-card makin' rut...So, I'm making time to create more templates 'n' techniques & to try and get more funky with my style. (Plus, I just may write that book or start video tutorials, heehee) :O)

What you can expect around here for the next couple of months:

Techniques & Tutorials:

I'm lookin' forward to having more time to experiment with crazy stuff & hopefully find some nifty results to share with you. :O)

Paper Garden Projects Designs:


I've never been so excited about stamping since I got my hands on Paper Garden Projects stuff. I just ordered a whole whack of stamps & goodies and I'm super excited that Cathy has asked me to make some goodies with the new kits for Christmas & the Holidays! (Wait until you see how CUTE they are!) :O)


More Big ol' Link Lists:

I've been workin' on some good ones with lots of templates & tutorials.

Maybe some Scrapbookin' (!?!):

I am a BIG chicken when it comes to scrapbooking, but I have been drooling over some peoples gorgeous creations lately. I am really wanting to get into it, so you might see a bit of that.


So I'll see you every other day & I hope that you still be here. :O)

Stampin' Hugs,



P.S. That photo up top is a real grape that my aunt Kat found staring at her while we were on vacation, ROFL!

I for one will look forward to each and every post you make. I understand the need for more time! Thanks for everything you share and spending so much time on all of us - I know I appreciate it!

Well, I sure hope she didn't eat that grape; it'd bring in a small fortune on eBay! Trust me, I'm a trained professional ...

I hear ya Mel-a-Licious ... this daily bloggin' is becoming more and more of a chore. I've been thinkin' of doing the exact same thang.

I'll miss your daily posts but we can still be silly together via email! And every other day is a nice workable schedule ... one I jess might adopt fer my own self!

No matter how often you do or don't blog, you're still huggable, wonderful Mel-a-Licious to me!!

Now rest and kick back with some of that down time, huh?!?

~Huggies!

Hey Mel!! I have the same issue with my blogs. . .I make all these quicky cards just so I can post something on a daily basis. A lot of times, I don't like what I end up making.

Quite honestly, I don't know how else you can improve your blog and projects. . .they're over the top already. You have the most extensive blog with all the details, tutorials and awesome projects. But. . .considering it's you, I'm sure there's a lot more creative stuff churning in your head. I can't wait to see all your new stuff!!

You are soooo funny Mel!! However I have to admit that the grape does look like its staring though! LOL
I can totally relate to your new blogging schedule. Blogging everyday can be a bit hectic. I'm looking forward to your tutorials and projects! Take care and have a great day Mel:)

Tiff said...

Now, that's a plan!!!! Good luck with ALL your endeavors! I would definitely buy your book!

I will certainly miss seeing your stuff every day, but no one can keep up with such wonderfully creative stuff as you do when they have to turn it out like a machine. I will look forward to whatever you create, whatever your schedule for posting.
Hope you had a great visit and feel wonderfully recovered.

I have to say you make me feel human, Mel. I wondered how you and all of the others do it. I thought maybe the voices were talking to you all more than me.....just kidding. I sometimes post daily, but only when it works. I think you will like it. I wouldn't miss your posts for anything.

Your faithful followers will still be here, daily, weekly - whenever is right for you and look forward with eager anticipation at whatever yu have to share with us. Take care lady! PS Watch your postman...he might be bringing you something from blighty!!

I fully understand, I am happy for as and when you can manage. I am so inspired by the crafty delights that you share with us all, so much so that I went out and bought me a Scor-Pal LOL
Thanks so much Mel for visiting my blog, it was a lovely surprise :)*
