Taking a break

After 6 years and 876 posts on this blog, as well as some dabblings in a couple of other blogs*, I think I need to take a bit of a break.

I'll definitely continue to visit the many wonderful sites that have inspired me over the years, checking in on friends old and new, and (hopefully) stumbling across ever-more-delightful ideas and images ...

.... but for now I think I just need to get away for some R & R.


I hope to return to this little blog within a few months, feeling refreshed and full of renewed blogging mojo - so please check back in every now and again.

Till then, take care and stay happy! I'll see you on the other side ...



* These sadly wound down a while ago, although you can still find them through the links under my profile message

Oh my! what an interesting 'secret' to have! (it's a pity the title gives it away).

Confessions of a very sluggish blogger

My blog updates have been cracking along at an absolute snails pace recently - I apologise for the lack of new ideas and inspiration! Sometimes life just seems to get in the way, you know.


I'll do my best to return to daily posting with lots of new and lovely discoveries soon ....
