While I love the sharing of your crafts, the main thing that keeps me reading is you! You!! You make me laugh with your stories, your squirrels, your adventures, and your friends and family. It takes a special person to spend their time not only sharing ideas, but sharing their own 'humanness' along with all of its frailty, insecurity, silliness, craziness. If you choose not to continue, I respect that. The hours in every day of our lives are precious, and the choice to spend each and every one in a way that makes us happy is important. If you make that choice, know that I will miss you...but I won't forget you! I will forever have an image of you spending that extra hour watching the squirrels!

Thank you for reminding me that I also need to comment on those blogs. I truly appreciate your views on life and other stuff. I love your crafts and the inspiration I have gained from your posts. Finally, I admire how you live your life. You are a very caring individual. Don't desert me.

I'm a stay at home "old" mom and there's not enough hours in the day as it is and I'm home all day! I have been "following" you since the old MB and you tested out some guys pen holders or something like that for the Cricut. My gosh I think that was about 2007! lol I have enjoyed your humor, your dirty cards, your personal storys and everything else from the mb to your blog. I understand how you feel when you don't get any comments but please know that you are loved and would be missed greatly should you decide not to blog anymore. But with that said, you need to do what makes YOU happy and not what makes us happy. Just be happy Shirley, just be happy my friend.

I enjoy your blog and the projects that you...Hello! I enjoy your blog and the projects that you make, but I realize what a chore that a blog begins to become. I joined the Cricut Circle at the very beginning and found you there before I found your blog. I created a blog just so I could post my projects to enter the circle contests...I don't blog anymore because it does seem to swallow your life. If you decide to quit altogether, it is understandable, but I will miss you and your projects.<br />LizW in TXNana's Paper Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473358327587124226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226280836740630353.post-27616261055573959082013-01-09T09:25:51.250-06:002013-01-09T09:25:51.250-06:00Thanks Okie. I don't come to your blog every ...Thanks Okie. I don't come to your blog every day. But it is bookmarked and the first one I click to go and check when I do have time. I don't usually comment, but do occasionally. That is how I am in real life though, not a big "talker". I also have a blog where I share files and ideas from time to time so I do understand fully the "time factor". That is one of the reasons I don't have regular updates. I don't see you as "needing" your feathers stroked, or your ego fed (as a couple insinuated) but simply wanting to know that others appreciate your time and effort into all you do to share. Like you, I would get hundreds, sometimes thousands of downloads and NO comments. One reason I decided is possible the same reason you may have that issue and that is that are "comments" are hidden sorta. You have to look for and find the comment "link" to click on, then you are taken to where to comment and see the other comments. It has been my observation that those who get the most comments have their "comments" being shown on their posts in all their glory. Maybe that "reminds" people to comment, I don't know. I also don't give away freebies and gifts on my blog (unless you count the hard work in preparing the files I give away!) so maybe that is why no one sees the "need". However, I would point out to others the "need" is simple to know that others like what you are sharing and finding joy and/or inspiration from it. I equate it to your family, its good to have them say "thanks" every once in a while rather than simple taking it for granted that you are there taking care of them!<br /><br />Thanks. I look forward to your sharing your life, your stories, your files, here on your blog and/or on the MTC forum.

I am not much for commenting on anything outside of the Cricut Circle. I will try to post more often.<br /><br />I have been loving the frames. I am going to print them off for inspiration.

Until I read your thoughts on blogging I didn't realize the importance of commenting on blogs I enjoy and the projects and inspirations from you and probably 30 or 40 other bloggers I come across monthly. I wish I had more time to read, comment, surf and enjoy the art of blogging. Yes, I said art! Not everyone can post a project, thought or story like you can and I have really enjoyed each and every one of them. Thank you for being a part of my life for years...anonymously, but nonetheless you make my day each time I visit your blog. Thank you! Carrie in WA <br /><br /> PS I do not have a blog as I only get on the computer at night when I can't sleep as I have insomnia and almost nothing helps me sleep...not even your blog!

I dont always post but, you are one of the blogs I have kept which I check at least once a week. I can imagine that if I meet you in person that you would have me in stitches your blog stories funny but, they also are heart touching at times. Just know I will check back periodically to see if you have started up blogging again. Until that time thank you my internet friend for sharing your talent, stories and life with us.

No, I don't comment as much as I should. But I do comment more than I did at the beginning. Sometimes everybody has already said what I would have said. <br />So I just don't post anything, but then I do try to post something on FB or at least like it on FB so you know that I have read it.

Even though I don't comment much, I have enjoyed reading and learning from your blog. Not only about crafts but also about life lessons. I have shared many of your bloggings with my family and friends and it's made some interesting conservations with margaritas to say the least. :D Thank you so much for sharing your talent, knowledge and life with us. I hope you don't stop but if it doesn't give you pleasure to do so, then I certainly understand.

I did not see you being one who needed to be stroked. Did someone slip you something? I think you should do what makes YOU happy, what ever that is. If is is sharing, then share. If it is not posting every day, don't post every day, but I sure did not see "oh poor me, no one likes me" coming. I hope you can do what makes you happy and not feel like the world had pooped in your post toasties. Would you really care if they did? Throw it out and get a new bowl of Tiger Flakes!!
