This space has been empty and echoing for far too long. I never intended to be absent for this long, but lots of things seemed to work their way higher up on the priority list, and blogging just didn't feel as important, as necessary, as I once used to think it was.
It all keeps coming back to trying to live the life I want to live in the midst of all the technology that surrounds me. Just look over in the Connect column -- you can see all the different places where I make myself at home on the 'net. I keep looking for a central gathering place, though, and right now, that place seems to be here. More than anything, it gives me a place where I can talk about the things I love -- the books I'm reading, the projects I'm working on, the kits I'm designing, the photos I'm taking, the LIFE I'm experiencing.
I'll be blogging daily (or as close to daily as I can manage); you can see the categories listed down the left-hand side of the page.
- On Mondays, I'll be sharing the books I'm currently reading; sometimes this will be a detailed book review, and at other times it will be an idea for a book-based project.
- Ten on Tuesdays will be a catch-up post from the current week to just give you a look at what's going on in my life -- expect random.
- What's In My Heart Wednesday takes a cue from bloggers Stephanie Howell and Ali Edwards to talk about the real everyday things I'm dealing with. I also see it as a place to just share what's on my mind and heart this week: childhood memories, parenting concerns, pet peeves, work worries. (Don't worry -- I won't be all Debbie Downer each week.)
- New Releases Thursday will feature new products for my Design House Digital shop; I've finally gotten back into the designing swing of things, so look for new products from me weekly (at least for the next couple of months).
- iPhoto Friday is a way for me to share what's been going on in my life each week in photo form; I love my iPhone photo apps and I've found that I capture much more of my daily life this way than I do in any other format.
I'm excited about being back in this space; as you can see, I've given everything a pretty facelift (which applies to my digital design branding as well), and I'm loving how it looks. Some things will still be changing slightly (particularly that menu bar along the top), but for the most part, the overhaul is complete.
