Whew! It's been a while!! I missed blogging and chatting, but I must admit that I went through blogging/scrapping burnout! Have any of you experienced this? This is my first blog ever, and my first venture into the scrapping cyber world. Instantly I became addicted to surfing and posting and finding new forums , making new friends, etc.., fun for a while, but then I noticed I was losing scrapping time! And I felt guilty if I didn't respond to every post right away, or if I didn't have something new to update! Then I joined my first big contest and the pressure was on! All of a sudden my passion wasn't fun anymore, I was following someone elses rules for what I needed to scrap and felt like I couldn't be myself! Maybe once I've been scrapping longer it will be easier to shift into other styles etc... So I just needed to take a break, find my center as they say:) My head is back to dreaming of scrapping now and hopefully I have learned a valuable lesson in time management! Anyway, I just wanted to vent and share. I have missed all of you and your fabulous blogs! Thank you for all of your comments and friendship!!!
Hugs, Jamie

Glad to have you back.. I have missed you but I totally understand it really does cut into your creative time.
Sometimes a computer malfunction does wonders for my soul even though I miss blogging, whilst it's out of action! ((hugs))
I know what you talk about - "been there - done that" -so for me it is scrapbooking FIRST and then all the computerstuff SECOND.
Yep, been there done that!! I have printed out the photos that I wanted to scrap and then turned off the computer and promised myself not to go near it!
It does you good to get a break and start to enjoy scrapping again. But I must admit I do miss all the fab blogs out there!

As some of the other people are writing "been there, done that". Scrapbooking should be fun, not a duty, and the internet is maybe a to big part of that?! Anyway, i wish you a great weekend. :)
Nice to have you back. Must admit I have missed your lovely layout but we all need a break.
I cannot wait to see some more of your beautifully stunning work! I keep checking your blog and gallery at sb.com to see if anything new is there. I hope you had a good break. I can understand totally. Welcome back!

Hi sweetie, I hope you are building a nice big craft room in all this DIY you are doing!! I may have to make room for Xmas presents and trees etc in our house so I might have to tidy away for a month or so!!
I have left you an award on my blog for whenever you are ready to collect it.
