I just got back from vacation to a reade...Oh yeah.<br /><br />I just got back from vacation to a reader of almost 300 threads. That's way more than I can handle, so I am just cruising though them and looking at the pictures. If something really catches my eye I will star it to go back to it, but I have my limits. I no longer feel guilty about not being able to read and comment on everything that gets put out there, even though I wish I could. <br /><br />I'll do my bast to catch up today, and tomorrow I'll get back to my regular routine. The Internet is great in bringing almsot limitless information on any subject you can think of to your fingertips at any moment in time, but that can also get pretty overwhelming. I cruise blogs/sites/reader during the weekday, but little during other times- I just need a break. So I overload during that time, and then I can enjoy my actual hobbies with my evening/weekend time. A person could easily spend every minute online, but then what kind of life would you have? You'd just be reading about all the fun and interesting things other people were doing. While that's great in doses, it's key to make sure we all have time to actually get out there and do some of those things for ourselves.<br /><br />Enjoy your computer-free time :)<br /><br />~PandaGirlJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01293624548841779855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-48039709382626265122009-08-16T11:31:53.249-04:002009-08-16T11:31:53.249-04:00I once got overwhelmed and realized how silly that...I once got overwhelmed and realized how silly that was because this was suppose to be my "fun" time!! So, I've erased everything (actually my hard drive crashed!!) and stared again but this time, I just do what I can or feel like!! Good friend blogs and a few of my all time favorite blogs / galleries!! I refuse to put pressure on myself any more and I've really enjoyed blogging / crafting since!! Take a break and enjoy!!Doneldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11656093000344585375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-13341189472132943062009-08-16T10:36:35.903-04:002009-08-16T10:36:35.903-04:00Hey Susan,

Unfortunately, I did not get to 'play' in the cas challenge this week and have not been in the gallery much either. <br />I think it is great that you take a break. Well deserved. There have been a number of people who have asked me to start a blog but I just am not into it and need to delegate my time to other places as I know it is a big commitment to keep a blog updated and running. <br />Please let me know if you ever need me to start the cas thread. If I am able, I would be glad to as I am usually in that gallery the most and like the challenge of finding those other little gems hidden elsewhere in the general gallery too. You do such a great job of it all. <br />Hope you take lots of time to stamp....you know that I am one of your greatest stalkers....giggle...I always wait with great anticipation to see what you will come up with next!!!!<br />take care and enjoy your time,<br />Karen {k dunbrook}Karen Dunbrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11282324487256249657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-13088681354295400082009-08-16T05:43:25.723-04:002009-08-16T05:43:25.723-04:00Enjoy your well deserved break from cyber space!
M...Enjoy your well deserved break from cyber space!<br />My family is grown up and away and I still don't get through half as much creative work as you. I don't have a blog either (let alone 3!) I am in awe of you (and all the others out there) that consistently produce amazing papercraft, hold down jobs, run homes, bring up children etc,etc. Do you run on a 36 hour day?????<br />As I have said many times you are the 'Queen of CAS' and long may you reign....I look forward to your return refreshed and full of inspiration for us mere mortals ;-)Christine Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-41831256909584230302009-08-16T01:36:29.338-04:002009-08-16T01:36:29.338-04:00Hi, I will start the thread tomorrow (tennisrules)...Hi, I will start the thread tomorrow (tennisrules).

Especially when other things start to pile up and I realize that I could have had it all done if I didn't spend so much time blogging. So relax and take a break and know that we will be around to visit your blog again when you come back.Susan (peebsmama)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04685117319252711640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-13491396787551517432009-08-15T11:28:21.812-04:002009-08-15T11:28:21.812-04:00Everyone gets burn-out and needs a break to get re...Everyone gets burn-out and needs a break to get re-energized.
