I also want to give a shout out to all of you who were able to bear with me during the tough months of the summer while I was having problems with my daughter. She is still doing very well, still very unemployed at the moment, but emotionally and attitude wise she is better than she has been for years. Her actions and words lately remind me of her pre-teen years when she was a very grateful, respectful and thoughtful child. I just keep thanking God for blessing her with the sense to come around and start being that awesome person I always knew was in there.
I know so many of you have said you like my commentary posts as much as my crafting posts and I always feel bad for not posting something crafty and I think that is why I haven't posted anything. There have been many times where I thought I would do a commentary but didn't want to bore anyone so I just haven't posted at all. So I guess I am asking, do I just continue to neglect this place or do I at least write commentaries every day even though it might be awhile before I post a crafty project? Believe my life is filled with commentaries, mostly rather amusing these days, so that wouldn't be a problem.
Ya'll know I have always had a love hate relationship with this thing anyway but I really do know it has been the best therapy during different parts of my life and here I am neglecting the one thing that probably helped me keep my sanity a few times. And now I am going to go insane due to the stress of getting crap ready for some ungrateful women who will be pounding my door step in just a matter of weeks. Oh wait, maybe that should have been a private thought *okie bangs head on desk laughing very menacing and maniacal laugh*. Okay see what I mean????
Okay, I totally know that is actually a "NO PARKING" sign but for this occasion we are gonna pretend it is a "NO POSTING" sign! Use your imagination will ya!!
So what do ya'll say? Post daily even though it will likely be mindless drivel or just post occasionally during this super busy time?
Post away.
ReplyDeleteOh, hell. Just put your mindless drivel up here! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI have SO MISSED YOU Shirley!! My vote is to toss out that No Posting sign! I, for one, come here to hear your thoughts as well as to see your talents. I love hearing about your life. It also gives some insight as to what inspires your crafting, and can show us how to draw inspiration from our own lives. I think that crafting has "saved" many of us at one time or another, and "venting" is also good for our mental health! So, Post away my friend--we worry about you when your are silent!

I'm always disappointed when I vist your blog and there are no new posts. Post when you can and anything you want. I enjoy the crafting posts but also enjoy your comments on your life. Makes me feel I'm not alone. Thanks.
ReplyDeletePost away. Or not. Do what is best for YOU! We will all survive, somehow...
ReplyDeleteThat said, I do enjoy all of your posts, crafty or not. You always give me something to think about.

What Linda said...
ReplyDeleteDon't stress yourself out about what or when you post! You do what is right for YOU and whoever reads it, reads it! Whoever doesn't want to won't. I, for one, will read it :)
ReplyDeleteI say Post Away!!!!! I love reading anything and everything you post!
ReplyDeleteVinDeeLoo
It's your blog :D. Post what you want to post, I'll read it lol.
ReplyDeleteWell since you don't call or text me with any of it anymore...post away!
ReplyDeleteYou are missed when there isn't a post. However I too sometimes find it hard to read all my incoming mail. You need to do what is best for you. We will all survive and will greatly love it when we do hear from you. Just don't forget about us.

I say post away as well! I've recently started my own blog ... after all these years of reading others! :) I don't have the way with words that you have & am sticking to posting scrap projects just now. I think if I don't have a project I will post "something" anyway. It is your space so you go for it & say what needs to be said. :)
ReplyDeletePS ... you can visit me when bored at www.barbscraps2.blogspot.ca thanks!
Just post what comes from the heart. It doesn't need to be crafty.
ReplyDeleteI visit your site regularly and love to hear about crafts and life in general. It's nice to know that people in the blog world have real lives and ups and downs like the rest of us. I really enjoy your commentaries, you add a little spice to everything you do. I say post when you can and what ever is on your mind at the time. We visit because we enjoy hearing from you. Like they say I come to visit you not your house, the good and the bad.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your post no matter what they are. Let us know what you are thinking and doing. Please.
ReplyDeleteI think you should post whatever you want. It is your blog. For me, I don't care if it is crafty or not. Like I told you before, you remind me so much of my Sister that has past away. I use to tell her about you when we all were on the Cricut MB at its peak. You tell the best stories. So post ahead they always be someone here listening :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your "mindless drivel"....your words not mine. I vote keep posting if it is right for YOU. If you don't feel like posting pass it by. You are the star here.
ReplyDeleteOkie Girl!...
ReplyDeletePost WhatEva you want, when you want. I/We will still be here to read it, whether Crafty or Commentary! It sure adds life to my drab work days...Smooches.
Keep posting. I love reading your commentaries.
ReplyDeleteKeep posting. I love reading your commentaries.
ReplyDeleteAre you gonna listen to what we say anyway??? BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You thought you were fooling us huh???
ReplyDeletesigned, one of those "ungrateful women" who will be pounding your doorstep! LOL
Crafty or not, I miss you when you don't post. I love to visit your blog!
ReplyDeletePost away Okie. We would miss the hell out of you if you stopped. Your creations are always a treat to look and marvel at but it's you we love! hugs, eileen
ReplyDeleteI had the same dilemma. I post at least once a week craft or not but don't feel guilty if I can't post. Life happens and ya know it isn't worth going nuts over posting or no.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your post whatever it is. Crafting or just about life.
ReplyDeleteMindless drivel works for me...!
ReplyDeleteMindless drivel also works for me! But post when you can and when you feel like it. Don't feel you have to post daily. :-)
ReplyDelete~Tracy
love your blog and miss it when
ReplyDeleteyou do not post. As a mother
of 2 daughters I "feel your
pain and joy" Keep on posting
fergie
I think you should post. Crafting posts are great and your non-crafting post are usually...um... entertaining, to say the least! If posting is therapeutic for you, even better. After all, even the best therapists sometimes need a little therapy!
ReplyDeleteat least post something weekly so we know you are ok! look forward to your post whether they are crafty or not.
ReplyDeleteDo what works for you, but I'd love to see you keep posting, crafty topics or not - KCM
ReplyDeleteShirley ... all I can say is, If you are going to go through the effort of putting it out there (and I honestly don't care one bit if it is deep heavy thoughts, mindless drivel, spectacular crafty inspirations, or whatever it might be) ... but if you are going to post, I am going to come and read it.
ReplyDeleteMy only wish is that you follow your heart and are happy with whatever you do!
Hugz,
Carol
I missed your unique sense of humor on the mb so I signed up for your blog... so as Linda and Amy said bring it on!!!! And then you get your crafty mojo back then you can inspire us again with that :-)
ReplyDeleteI say do whatever you WANT to do. Missed you though! And I don't mind posts that aren't crafty (just so you know).
ReplyDeleteI say that you you post what you feel like. If you need emotional release post what's on your mind. If you're in a crafty mood post a project. Either way you're helping you and us. Life is short. Follow your heart.

ReplyDeleteKeep posting. Even though I joined your blog because you are creative, I feel like I know you because of your 'mindless drivel'. I laugh with you and when you seem 'down' I pray. So my crafty mindless friend keep posting. :)
ReplyDeleteMarjorie from TX
I read your blog, crafty or not. I think you are brave to write about the good, the bad, and the ugly. Most of us are not comfortable enough to do that.
ReplyDeleteI say post when you can, but don't get stressed about it. When it ceases to be fun or "theraputic", then stop for awhile.
I enjoy reading your posts no matter what the subject. Post whatever you want whenever it works for you.
ReplyDeleteOne woman's "mindless drivel" is another woman's "entertainment". Post what you want when you want & we will read it.

ReplyDeleteWe all know your a Guinness when it comes to making Chit! But really Okie I go into withdrawals if you don't post.....I need my laugh a day, I love the mindless chit, so keep it coming!
ReplyDeleteI vote for daily drivel!! Post away! We miss you.
ReplyDeleteI vote for daily drivel! Post away. We miss you!
ReplyDeleteI vote for drivel. But honestly, you know when and what you need to post. We do miss you when you don't post and wonder what's going on with you.
ReplyDeletePLEASE POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it and miss you when you are away for so long. I worry about you.
ReplyDeleteI love your crafting and wisdom.
Please take the no posting sign down!

ReplyDeleteWhile you may think you post mindless stuff, I have saved a number of your posts in in my inspiration folder. I like you way to view situations and how no matter what, there is a positive.
Ultimately you have to do what works best for you and your schedule. I say post away!
post daily-love to hear what is going on in your life
ReplyDeleteI have commented several times I think you should write a book. I love your words, I love the thoughts, please do not stop. I wish I could be a writer like you. I can't spell and forget the English part; I had a hard time in school because I could not hear well. God gave you a gift to write, and I'm happy you use it.
ReplyDeletemhalford6 @aol. com
Please post daily. I enjoy your posts. :)
ReplyDeletei say post anything you want! i miss your post when you dont write anything.
ReplyDeleteKeep posting. Like someone else said, you will do what you want anyway. I really enjoy the mix on your site. I love that it is NOT a sales type site and that you are so real. We have never met, but I feel I know you. You are so honest and tell it like it is. You remind me to be real. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to craft, you enjoy it and crafting is a wonderful stress releiver.
I am sure your Christmas party guests would come even if there were no prizes. You are a hoot and I know ya'll will have a great time no matter what.

Love your blog and definitely think you should post daily whether it be commentary from your life, craftiness or a combo of your life - we want to hear it! Love when Chuck photobombs your camera with pics of himself! LOL
