I've not ...

... given up, it just seems that way!

I've been busy organising my little crafting space, decanting rubber stamps into CD and DVD cases to improve my storage (which involves putting some onto Eazimount) and then cataloguing them, along with punches, dies and folders. I've also been putting finishing touches to the organising of the House Party, which is fast approaching, and running around with Dad things ... just generally been quite busy. When I've had time that I could have blogged, I've not had the incentive to do so. I've updated Crafty Bits as I've had stuff to put on there but I've a lot to prep for this blog to be able to update it. Reckon I should put some dedicated time aside for a few weeks to get it back on track but ... do I want to?

I'm thinking that the time, or the need for 2 seperate blogs, is now past. I never intended there to be 2 in the first place but circumstances seemed to dictate the general direction that this one took - which was away from the more crafting based one I'd intended. Well, that's not strictly true. It was supposed to be a good mix of craft and personal bits. It's just the personal bits took a much higher profile from a very early stage of this blog and I made the decision to have it as my personal 'diary' and opened another for the crafty stuff. 2 now seem a bit irrelevant but ... I'm not yet at a stage where I can craft on a regular basis to give a good mix as originally intended.

I think that the dilemma I've now got is partly the reason why I've lost the incentive to update this blog but ... if I can get butt into gear and start updating perhaps, just perhaps, it might return! If I decide to close one/amalgamate the 2 - which one should I keep and which one should close? I like Ramblings. I like my header, I like the colour scheme and it was my first. I also like Crafty Bits but somehow I don't seem to have the attachment to that one that I have to Ramblings. If I could get the layout on Ramblings looking like the layout on Crafty Bits I'd have an easy decision but I can't. I've tried and it just doesn't work for some reason.

Ho-hum - more ponderings. In meantime I think it's time I went back to bed to try for some sleep. It's 05:16 in the morning and I've been up since just after 3. Yep, I'm still having the odd bad night - just not as many of them!

Thanks for dropping by .....
