Housekeeping---Sweeping

Just a quick long housekeeping note. I just got home at 8pm from a long day of work and errands. I have not had time to respond to many emails but did read several that were concerned that the give-a-way posting comment is closed. I didn't realize when I closed the comment section of one posting that it went for ALL postings. That was not meant to be and I do apologize for the confusion.

I will be taking a blogging break for the next couple of weeks in planning for a trip out of state, catching up on stitching, reading and my newest crave, designing some of my own samplers.

I am going to try and fix the commenting section shortly. In all fairness, I am extending drawing a name until tomorrow night at midnight. I'm a night owl and I promise I will be up at midnight! LOL. I didn't realize the give-away posting comment section was closed off as well. 

Just a few things about this blog that I need to communicate( this is reminding me of the first day of school, sorry, but this is necessary this week):

1.  This blog is not just a stitching blog, I have other aspects of my life as well.

2. Comment moderation was placed on this blog well over a year ago due to the decision as this keeps spammers and other, what I call "verbal vomit", off the blog. I try to moderate them as much as possible. If you don't see your comment immediately, it means I have been working or not able to get to the computer. I try to moderate them as quickly as possible. I also work a full-time job.

3. Unfortunately, common sense housekeeping note is............if you read my blog every day and don't like it or the nature of it, then PULLEAZE, don't feel obligated and move to the next blog. There is a help button for Google Reader if this is a problem for you. I try to keep this blog real and unfortunately, it may not meet your need.

4. I try to write daily or every other day as this seems to work well for me and sometimes I post more than once in one day. I know that is irritating to many people but again, there are many blogs to read out in blogland that may fit your needs better. I'm certainly not trying to send you away, but my journey make not be the highway you want to take, so to speak.

5. From time to time, I will take a longer blogging break to catch my breath from everyday life. I find this necessary a couple of times a year. One is coming up soon.

6. I do enjoy reading comments and I read each and every one, even if I do not always send a personal note of thanks back, I do appreciate you taking time out of your day to consider reading and interacting on this blog.

7. Please save temper tantrums on personal emails for your mamas. I do not mind personal emails about opinions, stitching, kids, pets, or whatever but I will not tolerate attacks on my spirit. And for the 99.9% of folks who I've met through this blog, it's been a very pleasant experience but it's that .1% of Poo that can stink it all up.

Now, I'm off to trying to fix this blog's commenting section, feeding my never-ending, tail-wagging dog, and tending to my husband who came home very sick. More Poo cleaning.......LOL
