I don’t know why I have not been blogging much lately. I am beginning to think I am burning out on blogging and internet stuff in general. I think several things have contributed to this. First off I have signed up for and have done too many online exchanges. Some of them have been disappointing. A few people have not sent what they were supposed to send and some of the things I have received have not been as nice as what I sent out. I guess that is the way that exchanges go and I should not be disappointed, but I am. I am not signing up for any exchanges for a while to regroup from my experiences.
Second, I have also had several weeks of really bad poison ivy. I never had it this bad in the past. I had it all over my arms and I didn’t even do any quilting for 3 weeks. It is finally going away and I will get back into some quilting this week.
In one of my groups we are doing a secret sister exchanges which involves sending something every 2 months. The last things I sent in June, I have not even heard on group whether or not it was received by this person. She has not posted lately so I am not even sure she is still in the group. Since this is supposed to be secret, I am not supposed to contact her directly. For August I was going to send her a quilted tote bag that I made, but I am not sure if I should send it. I think I will send her a card without revealing my identity and ask her to post on group if she received the card before I send the tote bag. I guess if she does not post on group, I will break the rule and contact her directly because I don’t know what else to do.

Too bad about the poison ivy! I've never had that but my sister did and it wasn't any fun! Hope you are better now. I like your bag.
ReplyDeleteSorry you are getting burned out on blogging. I hate for you to quit so I am glad you are taking a break. Hope the poison Ivy is all better.

How disappointing Chris...and how rude some people are....I know when I hosted a swap on my blog recently I was getting might annoyed with one person who kept saying she was sending on this day or that day. Its just wrong and disgraceful. I would have named her and shamed her in blogland if she had dishonoured the swap as I had stated in the beginning...hugs Khris
