I wish I could, though. I wish I could journal about ideas I get. It was just never part of my life. I used to write all the time, had some great poems, notebooks, etc. Love your new medium and work!

I'm back to finding a good relationship with it, and the other bloggers out there, because I realize how much I miss the community! In addition to writing about creating, it's also important to me to be able to read others' experiences. I'm happy to report that I'm out here in blog world this morning enjoying some coffee and some good reading!!<br />Ciao!<br />JenJen Juddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16095850447720521341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-84327830143965514662012-04-29T21:08:20.710-04:002012-04-29T21:08:20.710-04:00Some years have been better for blogging and writi...Some years have been better for blogging and writing than others - trying to make 2012 one of the better - but it is also what falls away first when I have to focus on other things.<br /><br />I'm lucky that my day job is creative pursuits including my beads... but sometimes there's only so much time to also blog creatively!Elainehttp://www.tooaquarius.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157095593736922566.post-11047383229691015542012-04-29T17:33:35.053-04:002012-04-29T17:33:35.053-04:00I commend you Cindy.

I am also into jewelry, crocheting, and some sewing. I am semi retired (56) as my husband is disabled and I am needed to take care of him, and my elderly parents. So they keep me busy, but the beading is my outlet. Love the birds and the briolets.
