Hi there! We’re back.
March 30, 2009
Wowzers. I think this is the longest I have ever been away from my blog! And not just my blog. From blog surfing, internet research, twitter, and even emails that don’t need immediate reply. Wow. I feel a little strange being back! Not because I didn’t miss piping in about the fun things we have been up to, but because I have had an increased sense of reality.
A older woman I met with yesterday said something I will never forget. She said: “So-and-So is always out in the neighborhood visiting with neighbors, chatting with people in the yard and walking around outside getting to know people. You see, he doesn’t have a TV.”
Well…I think it is safe to say a replacement for TV has become the COMPUTER! The safe place to connect. And a wonderful place! Diets are just recommended to make sure it isn’t our only place to connect. And now, after 12 days or so, I am in check. And for heaven’s sake, I am not even an addict…just someone who loves pretty things, getting inspiration, checking in with people, and keeping up on my business. But now I am back, and happy to check in with eveyone and say a big: I have missed you! Thanks for checking in while I was away. Great things are happening, and I can’t wait to share!

Happy you’re back so I can see what you are up to:) A computer diet is not a bad idea, though.
So glad you’re back! You’re right though, computers do replace television for alot of us and become just as consuming and not always the healthiest way to spend our time. I’m taking a little bit of break myself. Not a cold turkey, none at all diet but am trying to only take it in smaller doses. Get out the “real world” more.
So happy you’re back, you were definely missed:) Love the idea of a computer diet.
That’s great, what the woman said.. it’s something that is missing these days.. we come home, pull into our garage’s wake up and leave again without ever seeing the people who live right next to us! I never park in my garage and I like the small meeting ups with my neighbors that happen because of just that one thing! Often one of my neighbors will be babysitting her grand baby and she comes over to say hello (I get baby giggles & sweet smiles) it’s so nice! I still need a lot of work in the area of being ‘out and about’ but I totally agree with you! I took a whole year off in 08 and life was very rich indeed! I dont think the computer is bad at all, it’s like donuts or lasagna, good in moderation!
…and of course I adore you and your work {along with the many other talented mama’s/ladies I keep up with here!} so I’m so glad your back! ^_^ Keeping harmony between all area’s of life is a very important thanks for the reminder! 
I randomly came across your darling blog while looking for art for my nursery (you are so talented)… and realized I recognized your darling little girl. You are in my ward…and your cute daughter sits right in front of me in primary (I teach the class older than her) Just thought I would say hi…and welcome to the neighborhood!
Hi Sarah Jane, just popped in to see how you are doing, look into the new stock in more detail and I spotted these HAPPY CUSTOMERS of mine!!! They are adorable and I am thrilled to see a Mee a Bee bag in action here.Thanks! I’ll link back from my own blog later.
