email, where art thou?

So I have finally caught up on my email.  You all should have 17 emails in your inbox from me.  I was really behind.   By the way what is up with Yahoo mail?  anyone else having trouble with it these last two days???

So here we are on Friday of my mail week and i have to tell you i feel like my posts this week were a little self indulgent rather than thought provoking .  It is hard though because  i just have the best friends that send the best mail and i think they deserve props.  So thanks for letting me do that.  I have been thinking a bit about getting back to the basics here.  This started out as a place to show my collage work and has really grown into so much more.  I am really interested in photography now and am so pleased to see the improvement in my picture taking over the last few years.  Sometimes I wonder why you all show up here?  What draws you to my blog?  I know for me, I love blogs that have lots of color, great ideas and projects and are written in a sincere manner.   What do you love about your favorite blogs?

Are you saying to yourself what does this post have to do with mail week?  Well, here it is!  I have spent this week catching up with people that I needed catching up with.  Why don't you  send one email, letter or card this weekend to someone you need to catch up with.  I know you feel bad because it's been too long but believe me you'll feel so great after you do it.  Most people understand how life is and are just happy that you thought of them.  Do it ok?

Yes - Yahoo has been kooky for me lately. Veddy frustrating, and it makes me nervous that I'm not getting mail.

You are a great photographer and I can't wait to see more lovely pics from you :)

I love that polaroid!! I like blogs that are pretty and fun and, like you said, sincere. I like to get a feel for who that person is - their voice. That's why I like your blog - pretty, fun and sincere!! Happy Mother's Day!

Hmm.. No yahoo problems on this front. Seeing as it was your birthday self indulgent is appropriate. As for what first draws me to certain blogs - I'd say usually it's either a project that I'm interested in or a referral/comment I've seen. What keeps me coming back is posts that make me smile, think or learn. I think it's important to see the blogger's personality, their likes and dislikes, what they create. Otherwise I might as well read a book.

can i copy and paste your post onto my blog? it says everything i've feel today. it was weird to see how many people posted about the goodies they've received/people they met this week. it's like some crazy blogging brain wave hit us at same time... but i do love "showcasing" the work of people i know and admire.

i, too, started my blog to show my work, but i just haven't had time to create anything lately. i've been too busy blogging! :)

that polaroid is wonderful! love how the footprints look like they're popping out instead of in.

seems i'm ALWAYS playing catch-up these days...thus the multitude of comments today...miss you.
