A Return to My Blog!

There will always be a rainbow after a storm.  You just have to be pointed in the right direction to see it.  ♥

Hello, everyone!

   You probably noticed that my "hiatus for the month of May" turned out to be slightly longer than planned.  Fifty days longer, actually.  Oops!  More things managed to go wrong and I realized that I couldn't get everything done to my satisfaction while blogging at the same time.  There is good news, though!

   Of course, if you've been following me on Instagram and Twitter you would have at least known that I was indeed still alive.  I never mentioned anything about my blog, though.  Honestly I was feeling bad about it, rather guilty, and just didn't know what to say every time I sat down to make a post.  Sometime soon I would like to write up a post about everything that happened within April and May.

   No worries, though!  I am a married girl now, and being married is wonderful.  =)  So no worries about that kind of drama, okay?  This post is more about my plans for the blog, though.  Personal stuff later!

   So, blogging... that thing I used to do?  =P  I've missed it.  I don't know what type of schedule I'll be able to maintain for updates now that I've moved and become part of my own new little family.  I'm figuring that it will be less often, at least to begin with.  I'd much rather focus on better quality in my posts than quantity.

   Also, I'm toying with the idea of taking a slightly different direction with my blog.  I still love doing reviews, and for all my nail polish fans, there will always be polish, but I'd like showcase more of my other hobbies.  Now that I'm in a new house I have my very own real sewing room, and it has been inspirational!  At the same time I don't want to spread my blog too thin and end up with something lacking direction.  So, I'll be going over all the different topics that interest me and see if I can group them together under one main theme and goal for my writing.

   In that same vein I never got to finish revamping my blog.  You may see some things under construction as I find the time to work on things.

   It's good to brush the dust off my keyboard and reach out to everyone again.  Look forward to hearing more from me soon!  I haven't forgotten about my readers, but I am out of touch!  It'll take more than just me to fix that, though...  So... a few questions:
  • How are you?  Anything new?
  • What would you like to see on my blog in the future?
  • What don't you want to see on my blog?
  • Do you like Review or How-to posts better?
  • Any suggestions on where to get affordable blog graphics?
  • How do you prefer to follow a blog?  E-mail, GFC, etc...
   I hope that you are having a great day, and if you have a moment, stop and leave me a comment, even if it's just a hello.  Thanks so much!
