Bad, Bad Blogger

I’ve been a bad, bad blogger. It’s been far too long since I contributed to my blog. While I do enjoy having an online presence, life just has a way of getting in the way—especially in the past few months!!! The bulk of my energy has been taken by a few unexpected projects and events. However, I am working hard to get myself back into the groove of things. So please accept my apologies for my extended absence, and while I am apologizing, let me do so in advance for any future absence that may be required as I struggle to juggle the complexities of the life of a busy crafter.

For those who don’t know me well, let me take a moment to reintroduce myself. I am a 30-something workaholic who stays exceptionally busy as a full time property manager, owner of a medical transcription company, and crafter who is in a joint venture with my sister called Busy Lil’ Bees Designs. I’m also the proud parent of a head-strong (but lovable) 17-year-old who will be graduating this year. I will be celebrating 20 years with my high school sweetheart (and 18 years of marriage). I also have a few health challenges (that’s what I prefer to call them) that tend to complicate things a bit. As you can probably tell, I like to keep busy, and with all the responsibilities I have on a day-to-day basis, that’s not hard to do!

Busy Lil’ Bees is where I get to let my creative juices flow—creating and selling all sorts of gift items (diaper cakes, cupcakes and wreaths; towel cakes; spa gift baskets; fleece blankets; etc.), home décor items (tole painting, cross-stitch, flower arrangements, wreaths, kitchen angels, etc.), and greeting cards. When I am not busy creating, I am working on marketing this craft business by blogging, managing a Facebook presence, maintaining our own website, selling our goods on Etsy, and booking local area craft shows.

I plan to continue to offer FREE paper piecing projects on a regular basis on this blog, as well as to showcase some our most recent products, keep readers informed of upcoming local area craft shows, and maybe even provide some helpful insights to other fellow crafters by way of advice and critiques of products.

So if you are interested in the crazy life of a busy crafter, don’t forget to sign up as a follower of my blog, and hang on for a wild and bumpy ride! If nothing else, I hope this blog can provide a few laughs with the funny stories I share (Confessions of a Cricut Addict or A Crazy Day in the Life of a Crafter) to help you get to know me. Thanks for stopping by!


P.S. If you have a moment, submit a comment. After all, you never know when I’ll send you a FREE surprise just for fun! I've been busy adding new products to our Etsy site, you can check it out at http://www.busylilbees.etsy.com/. I will be working on updating our website at http://www.busylilbees.com/ where any upcoming craft shows will be posted.
