Running in Place

Much needed ...

It is obviously BEYOND time for a face lift and a new post here at my blog. I figure I probably lost my readership (all 6 of you) over my Christmas hiatus!! It was completely unplanned and one of the few lowlights of my holidays. I found myself missing the connection to my friends that I so often feel through my blog! Who would have ever thought I would miss journaling?! And yet I kept thinking "I need to write about this!" or "I can't wait to post pictures of this!" Needless to say I've got so many pictures to share and memories of a wonderful December. Now, at this point I recognize that we have moved into the new year and are resolving to do great things, change bad habits, create better habits, try something new, etc ... I'm right there with you! But I did promise myself that my blogging would be MY record of events (with the wonderful added benefit of sharing with my friends) so I'm afraid you will still have to hear all about the things we did last month - even if it is all after the fact :) I may even try to post-date them so they will be in order ... a little OC/AR? You betcha!! I hope you haven't given up on me - I've been dying to get back! Enjoy the new look, the new links, and this little nibble of a post to hold you over for now. I'll be downloading pictures and getting ready to post a lot more in the next few days and weeks - it is a New Year, after all!!

Cool new header!!! I missed your blog updates during the holidays. Of course my blog was very lacking during the month of December too. So ... New Year ... new chance to do better for both of us.

So grateful for your friendship dear Kari. Can't wait to see how things went in your corner of the world. Love ya!

Glad to have you back. And no you have not lost your fans! I really like the new background color. Very happy just like what I imagine you are!
Can't wait to read what you've been up to. Aloha, Sarah

Kari,

Love the new header and now MUST know where you got it or what you used!

You haven't lost me as a reader, although like others, I've missed your posts. I'm using Google Reader now, and when you post, I get to see it and get caught up.

You are a superwoman, with all the things you do and organize! I look forward to reading what you have to share, but remember to keep it fun! No undue pressure from me to keep up the blog. Post when you can. We'll be here...or at least I will, cheering you on!

Hugs!

Hi Kari!

I *do* count the blog as a journal, plus I think scrapbooking counts, too! But, I wanted something written. You know, by hand. You don't get much of that anymore. :)

Carol said...

Hi Kari, I am still here too! Love your changes and look forward to hearing all about your christmas and new year!

I am right with you...I am behind! I got a new computer and lost all my pictures (until I transfer them) so I am stuck! I am glad to know that I am not the only one though...so what I am saying is thanks for being behind!!!

You think you can get rid of all of us by taking off a few days? Nope... we're still here... and many more than 6 of us!
