I've been thinking and considering changes around here- nothing huge, but maybe just tweaking the format here and there. Friday Favorites and Geek Girl will definitely stick around, as well the weekly Project Life posts for as long as I'm working on that album (and I don't see stopping anytime soon!), and Saturdays are when I normally post personal photos from vacations and everyday adventures. I'm curious, though, about the scrappy content- do I really need to post a new layout every day, or is one post a week with several projects better/worse/about the same? Do you guys have any input on that? I dunno- for some reason I just feel the need to shake things up a little!
One thing I'm also doing to shake things up is working on doing less single-manufacturer work and getting back to mixing it all up, be it with kits (both purchased and homemade), newly purchased items, or really old stash (because goodness knows I have it!). Due to some current commitments that change will take a bit of time to fully implement, but it is definitely coming! I've found that I'm happiest when I have a mix of everything going on on my crafty table, so I'm working on getting back to that- it'll just take some time. :)
Okay, enough blog blabbering for today- we've got some crafty picks to get to!!!
