Being that Halloween is probably my least favorite holiday (sorry...I know, I'm such a scrooge!), I decided to exercise some "letting go"...and instead of handmade costumes, creative decorations, beautifully carved pumkins and the like.....we had no decorations at all, kid-made costumes, a hunt for a farm that still had pumpkins the day before halloween, and candy that I never thought I'd let in my house. Ah...letting go, or as my mother-in-law says, "they need to have something to be mad at you for as an adult". So there you have it.

As always, I struggle with the fine line of what feels okay to share on the blog and when to just keep it to myself, but here's the basics of what I do want to share: I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by life at the moment. Steve has a big job change happening--starting next week--which, in turn, means lots of changes for all of us. Not to mention the changes that we've experienced by adding another being to our household, and of course, the change in the season. And well, um, I kind of suck at change. (read: huge understatement here!) And then there's the change of my crafting time being cut from about 2 hours a day (yes, I was lucky..I do know), to more like two hours a week....and where does that leave this "craft" blog? Hmn... So, while I wade through all of these many life changes, and head into the too-busy holiday season, things might look a little different around here. Not sure how--or even if--any of this will effect (or is it affect? I can never get those right) the blog. I promised myself that I would stop blogging as soon as it become another chore "to do"...so far that hasn't happened--it's been nothing but fun, supportive and inspiring. So, in an effort to keep it that way, the postings around here might change a bit in the near future--either in quantity (though I DO love posting every day), or they'll take a "lighter" tone, or perhaps I'll just stop replying to comments (but know that I read and love each one! Don't stop!). Thanks for bearing with me...
