Hi everyone!

Hi, I am Karen, and this was my blog, a few years ago, I got sick, and I was unable to keep up with my crafting, and my blog.  I have to say that trying to get back to my followers, has not been an easy task!  I used to have between 500-several thousand people who watched my videos, left comments, and the things worst part, was missing all of my blog friends!  Having someone to bounce ideas off of, and just having fun chatting!  So the good news is that I’m back!  The bad news is that I am starting all over!  I was just going to start a whole new blog, and start from square one! So I found a blog site, and I really didn’t look into who they were or the big question “How much is it gonna cost”. So I started to make a blog, it was hard enough the 1st time, trying to do it all over again is a nightmare! So I quickly realized that the blog place I was now making a blog from was clearly not for small crafters like me, so I talked to customer service, now keep in mind that a total of 3 minuets have gone by, so I explained that I was in no way important enough to pay that much for my blog.  So after a few minutes of are you sure? And yes I really am, he said ok, I said thanks for the astronomical amount of money that I had to pay for 3 minuets, I said fine, and this is where it got a little sketchy.  He then said,”do you want to keep your name?”  I said umm no? He said you don’t? I again said no, thinking what is he talking about? So I figured that anything he is asking if I wanted, I was just gonna say no! So today when I wanted to change the name of my blog, cause it really isn’t an easy name of a blog, so this is when I realized that he was asking me if I wanted to buy the blog name that I had for thos 3 minutes!  I’m so mad cause it is a name that I was thinking of the whole time that I had been in and out of the hospital and just getting healthy.  So, I know that the name is not being used by anyone, but I just can’t have it cause I didn’t buy it back from my 3 minute blog!  So, I now have to come up with a new name, and I am really not thinking that it is worth it.  I have learned a lot this past year of trying to come back into the craft world.  You can have all the followers, subscribers, and even crafty friends, and everything is great, until you really need a friend. I’m not trying to be a sad sack, no one loves me, ect, it just puts things in prospective.  I love all my crafty friends, and I hope to catch back up with you all soon!  I hope I can get my cards/projects back on Pinterest, the funny thing is that it is really easy to forget how to do things, I can’t figure out On Pinterest, I can’t think of a new blog name, I started selling Stampin up again, my next quarter will be my last, cause I am my only customer, which kinda defeats the purpose of trying to earn some extra money! Lol I have a lot of new stamp sets, which I love!  I don’t have a complaint department, cause as usual, I am the complaint department, I am going to give some thought to a new blog name, but ya know what sucks, my Stampin Up blog name goes with the name I can’t have! My Stampin Up blog is scrapbyscrap.stampinup.net so if you haven’t figured it out my blog name that I can’t have is scrapbyscrap. Yup I love it too!  So, thank you to anyone who read this, I will be making the rounds to say hi to you all, I hope you remember me! That would just make all this ordeal perfect, if I go around saying hey guys! I’m back, and you say, who is she! Lol that is my luck! Thanks for listening or reading, or passing by, or not!   Karen
