Am I the only one who thinks up her entire blog post as soon as her head hits the pillow at night?…
I swear, lately my days are just flying by, and it seems that I constantly go to bed at night with so much left “to say” to you all (assuming anyone is even still out there reading, lol).
So, it’s 12:23 a.m., every muscle in my body hurts because of this, I can barely keep my eyes open without them watering from exhaustion & sleepiness, but I have to get this out now, or I never will.
This is going to be a bit of a rambling post, so bear with me.
I have been toying with the idea of opening up a bit more about myself on this blog… my blog. When I first started this thing up 5 years ago (ummm, wow), I did so with only the intent to share my cards and crafts. I had no idea how long I’d be doing it, or whether I’d even still be making cards at this point… but here I am.
And although I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing my crafty journey with you all, I have now come to realize how important it is to record moments, and to capture thoughts, reflections, memories, experiences. These are things that I look for when I try to recall past years in my life, and I’m often times disappointed when all I draw is a blank.
So anyway, without sounding to “deep,” I guess all I’m saying is that I think it would do me some good to do some personal blogging every now and again.
I realize that with that statement I’ve probably lost the interest of more than a few of you already…. That was a great fear of mine for some time. But you know what, that’s quite alright. I won’t hold that against you. But I don’t want to keep fitting what I share into such a small box anymore.
So, yeah, that’s it. I have some notes that I have been jotting down during these bedtime epiphanies that I seem to be making a habit of (lol!), regarding this new year and what it means to me.
I’ll share that next, and then a photo recap of my December… because Lord knows the physical album is nowhere near complete, lol! And of course lots of crafts coming up… including a fun new venture that I’m kinda stoked about. Ok…
Night!
Xoxo,
…Hey, it’s only 12:53am… That didn’t take too long! ;)

sounds like a great idea!
That sounds good Sarah! My fave blogs are the ones that have a mix of everything – personal/crafty/food ! Two of my fave examples – Vicki Chrisman and Melissa Phillips!
Sarah,
It sounds wonderful to me! We are all going through this thing called life together and I enjoy hearing about other people’s experiences…their laughs, tears, giggles, travels, families and adventures, hobbies, recipes and thoughts. It all enriches my own journey!!! And it’s FUN and interesting!

I know exactly what you are talking about….I sometimes feel my blog is boring…well, it is…lol…so have had some of the same thoughts myself…I think you should do what you want…I will still subscribe and I sure most will…when I visit a blog, be it for a “blog hop” or whatever reason, I always, read the entire post…I get lots of laughter, smiles, and enjoyement from it…so you go for it…can’t wait to see what you have in store for us!!
Ramble away Sarah. I enjoy your crafts and I will also enjoy your life’s journey.
We’d love to know more about you. Helps us all relate and builds that sense of community. Love your crafts and learning more about the person behind the craft is a joy.
I get where you are coming from…. I’ve kept my blog purely crafty and held myself back for the very same reasons. Perhaps I’ll be as brave as you one day!
Sharing your crafts with us is only a small way of expressing your individuality with us. Sharing your personal thoughts is just as welcomed. It helps to know where your creativiness comes from. Thanks for including us in your journey.
Love to read more about your life/thoughts..that is what makes friends I think the sharing….so YES I Look forward to hear more about YOU!
Hugs Holly.
I always over your crafts, therefore would love your personal thoughts as well. Sharing who you are lets us know where your crafts come from.
Ramble on…I’d like for you to share more about your workout routine. I’m all for fitness, especially when its from a mom w/kids. Keep up the good work.
I’m still listening, Sarah. :-)
Sarah, I’ve enjoyed reading the bits and pieces of yourself and your family that you have included on your blog since I’ve been reading it. I think it’s a great idea to share more of your thoughts and feelings and day-to-day human interests with your readers. I’m here to stay. :)
You are too cute. I am still here. When I started running back in May I still remember the pain. But I was out there every single day and after 2 weeks the pain went away. You can do it!
Oh I so hear you! I will still be reading!:)
See, I love to read about people’s lives. I think it brings us all closer and makes up feel connected! So, I think it’s wonderful :-)
Can I just say that I got super excited when I read this post?? I adore you and I love reading posts that are real and personal. Granted, I DO enjoy crafty posts, but there’s something about personal posts that I love.
I switched from an all crafty blog to a blog that encompasses everything I enjoy and I had the same fears at first. Want the truth? My blog has grown because of it. I love being able to share my heart, the things I’m learning, along with crafty projects mixed in. Can’t wait to read your future posts!! :)
Very well said….I know what you mean!
I’m here to stay! That’s for sure! Lately I enjoy reading personal posts more than crafty post…and I a planning to do the same for my own blog. Especially when I have a fast growing baby and I don’t want to forget every milestone she’s achieved.
