Taking a Little Break

Hello!

So, my 14 year old niece texted me this morning:
 "you know, Auntie, you should write a blog post telling the people of your blog that your camera isn't working and that's why you're neglecting them"! 
I'm still trying to get over the reference to "the people of your blog"!!  Good grief!!!  But you know, she's right, I should say something...!!!

So just a quick little note to say that my camera has been on the blink ever since we returned from our vacation almost a month ago!  I can take photos, just can't download, then upload them!  So cards have been made (but not nearly as many as I would have liked), but I haven't been able to post anything because of said reason!  However, the same niece did remind me - "uh Auntie, you can take pictures with your phone, you know!"

But I have decided to use the camera excuse for a little break!  Not a long one, just for a few more weeks, until I get that dang camera fixed, and for life to settle down a bit.  It's been kind of cray (ok, "crazy" - I really should not be using words like cray and adorbs at my age - I know, I know!) around here lately, and my creative energy has been somewhat lethargic to say the least!  But while I'm re-fueling, I'll still be out to visit all of your inspiring creations!

Hope to be back soon!
Shannon

  3. Thank your niece for me, Shannon, coz I was wondering where you were and if you were okay. Taking a break is good when life is cray-cray, as long as it isn't too long! I already missed you!! Good luck with getting your camera fixed, getting rid of the "nojo" and for life to settle down a bit for you! Hugs, Darnell

  4. Your niece is such a cutie! Maybe you should have a blog takeover! Not!
    Thanks for letting the people of the blog know the reason for your absence.
    Hope you can download your photos soon, or resort to your phone's camera!
    Either way, we'll be here waiting.....

  9. Well, the people of your blog have been wondering, so thank goodness you are ok!!! Ha. Your niece is adorbs (and it is perfectly ok to use such words in blogland regardless of age). Breaks are a GOOD thing. Enjoy it. Hugs.

  11. Well, I'm sad that there will be no chucheechu for a bit, but am happy you're doing what you need to. Reducing the cray now will only increase the card adorbs later on ;)

    Enjoy your break hun, and I must thank you for being so thoughtful to still come visit my blog while you're taking a crafty vacay. I love hearing from you! Hugs!!

  12. I'm so sorry that your camera isn't working. I hate it when things like that happen!
    I must admit that I did wonder what you've been up to. But I assumed that you were taking a break.
    Thank you for the update. I'll keep popping in to see how you're doing. :)

  15. Aw, cute post, Shannon! Your niece is a darling. I certainly hope you can fix your camera and get back to blogging sooner rather than later!

  16. I will not give you a hard time, a break can give perspective, and be a refresher too!! You are what is most important, and as long as you do what is needed for you, all will fall into place!!! Not saying you are not dearly missed in the posting scene, you have lots of fans and blogger admirers!!! However, they all understand!!
    Hugz!!!!
