I've been on sort of an unexpected blogging hiatus & I want to apologize.  I haven't posted since October here and I have to say I am a bit disappointed in myself.  By gaining a boyfriend, I've seemed to have lost track of this blog & have been spending a bit too much time hanging around him.  Making & blogging is super important to me & I hope that in the coming month I can get back on track.

It's been great getting to know this man of mine:

None the less, I have to say I am super excited for it to be November.  I love the fall & all the leaves changing & blowing around.  I like to step on them & feel them crunch, to sit outside on a crisp day & listen to the wind, to drink spiked hot cider with a Mr or with a friend, & to have it all summed up with a yummy meal made by my family over Thanksgiving.

Family means a lot to me.  I am so thankful for the way I was raised.  A great big family with a brother & sister, grandparents, aunts, uncles, & cousins on both sides, and a whole lotta love.  I am thankful that they have helped me grow to be who I am.  Making them proud to have me in the family is a huge goal of mine.  I am also excited to be introducing another person into the family.  Zach, my new boo, is coming to Thanksgiving with me this year & I can't wait to have him.  I love sharing my family with others & I hope he has a good time.

:: Zach going & getting some yummy donuts for us! ::

I've not been up to making much in this bloggy hiatus.  In fact I've kind of taken a down turn.  My shop has made no sales, I've not been motivated to do anything, etc.  I want to get the life I want off to a start but I feel like I am not dedicated enough.  I do just want to keep it as a hobby right now, but I'd love for it to be a successful hobby! I think I am in sort of a quazi-rut & I don't know what to do about it!

Anyway, I hope to be blogging up a storm soon.  So thank you for sticking around!!

How have you been?

Are you excited for Thanksgiving?
