Taking a bit of a break...

I had considered deleting my blog.
But then I would get inspired with a wallpaper sample and think what a neat background that would make...
and then I would find something and think, I can't wait to blog about this!
~*~
But I really need to organize the basement.
Two moves in six months...
Well, let's just say I need to downsize and organize a bit.
I also have some scrapbooking that I desperately need to catch up on
and I can't concentrate on that until some of this "stuff" is outa here! I bought a Cricut Create with birthday money and I so WANT to do some SCRAPBOOKING!!!
~*~
So I am havin' a garage sale and I'm doing my fall cleaning.
So I will be gone for a little while.
But don't worry blogging buddies.
I will get to visit you more now on my coffee breaks!
~Jill~

    Hi Jill,
    Hope you have a nice break...I know of what you speak. I moved here over 2 years ago and still have boxes that have not been unpacked in my basement! Shhh..don't tell anyone! Hope you will be back soon! ~Hugs, Patti

    Take your break but please don't delete your blog. Once you delete it, it's gone forever. I feel certain you would regret it. Just take your break, get that basement organized and do some scrapbooking. In fact, I just cleaned and organized a lot of my scrapbook supplies and said I was going to do more layouts. Haven't done a page yet! Maybe I need to join you in taking a break. But... lots of us love you and your blog so come back asap.

    Have a wonderful break! I know sometimes it is so hard to start doing something especially when you have fun blogging and just surfing the net.

    It certainly is hard to get things done when time just slips away when blogging!! You will feel so good when you get the things done that you mentioned. I'm keeping you on my blog roll so I can hear all about your accomplishments!!

    Hi Jill! I was coming on to delete my blog today for the exact same reasons you mentioned (basement and scrapping) but then I thought about how I like to change things and visit and now I'm holding off for a few days on the delete button!!! Enjoy your time off and I look forward to new posts after you are done! Sincerely, Jeannette

    I hear ya sister! We're trying to get some projects down around here too. I haven't been able to check in on my blogging buddies as much as I'd like to.

    I'm so glad that you won't be deleting your blog. You would be very much missed! Enjoy your time "away" in your new home. I know it will feel awesome to get everything squared away.
    Hugs!

    HI JILL! I hope you are doing well and wanted to let you know I miss your blog! I hope you are having FUN scrapbooking. I had a irrational moment last week and cleaned OUT tons of Scrapbooking STUFF and gave it away to some members of my scrapbooking group. I had THREE ROLLING SCRAPBOOK CASES! I KNOW THREE.....SO I have parted with those and even some of my cutting systems. I actually had 2 fiskars and 6 creative Memories cutting systems. I did not realize I had that many of the creative memories ones utnil I unpacked some boxes! UGGG.....so I helped out some of the gals that did not have these things! I am feeling motivated now to get my scrapbooking part of my life in ORDER and possibly weeding through it all. OK that got long.....anyway wanted to let you know we miss your BLOG!
