It’s back!

WOO HOO!!!!

A PHOTO LOADED!

It has been a very, very long time since I could work on a blog post.  For the last couple weeks, I have been checking in daily, trying to add a picture and getting a wide variety of nothings, error messages and even a splash of gobbilty gook.

It feels good to have the hosting site up and running again. 

Over the last 16 years, my blog has become a part of my life.  Not just a habit, or a business tool, much more than that.

I rarely look back through it, unless I amending to see a specific project, or figure out a date about when we went somewhere, or redid a room.

But when I do, I tend to get sucked down the rabbit hole, and find all sorts of tidbits about my life that I’d forgotten.  I see things I do not ever remember seeing, let alone creating.

Sweet faces of babies that are now teens, and such fun things we did together.

Writing in my blog has been worth it for the family memories alone.  But seeing my creations, friends, vacations, pups, and decor over the years can be a nice surprise.

When I began writing this journal, I had zilch of an inkling that I’d still be doing it this long, or that it would be more than just a business tool.

At this point, I don’t know how many people even read blogs, I no longer read my stats (which certainly aren’t in the thousands a day any longer).  And it has become harder to respond to comments, because of some odd change that the hosting site made.  But I still love reading the messages.

And I like knowing there is someone out there who cares.

So thank you to those of you who are still with me and have checked back during this outage. 
I am quite pleased to have it back again!

Hi Karla. I still read blogs, even though I don't write one anymore. I love seeing all the treasures you create.

I still love reading your blog! I don't have one but I thoroughly enjoy seeing all your lovely creations.

I am so glad you are able to access your blog to post again. It is so annoying when things get screwed up. I sometimes go back to check on certain dates on my blog, too, and then get sucked into reading old posts about my kids/grands when they were younger. Have a wonderful night- xo Diana
