To appologize or to not appologize, that is the question

At the end of last year, I made a post about trying to blog more and that I had gotten sucked into the black hole of genealogy. A friend of mine mentioned I should read the post "Blogging without Obligation". I did, and now feel a bit more comfortable about my absences.

Since my blog isn't for professional reasons, I'm not a designer for any companies or make any money with my crafting. I do think that having a blog keeps me focused on producing "stuff", since I don't want long absences from posts. I am grateful for those that have officially followed my blog and realize that they sort of expect me to display my new creations. But now you officially know that if there is an absence I'll try not to go on about how I feel guilty or will blog simply to blog.

Until my next post,

Celebrate Birthday Card

Here's a birthday card I made using materials from Hot Off The Press. The glimmery/shimmery hats and word are their Dazzles that I've used before. The papers are also from HOTP.

To maximize the number of cards I made with this kit I made them all in the A2 style. For this one I rounded the corners for an added little touch and didn't apply the papers to the edge of the card base.
