I'm Taking A Blog Break


This next few weeks are going to be very hectic around here. With my daily harvesting, freezing, canning and storing of vegetables and with both kids now back to school, I thought this would be a great time to take a blog break and get a lot of things done around here.
Maybe while on my blog break, I'll try getting to a few unfinished paintings done that I've had laying around. I would also like to start another series of Halloween art.
I'm still going to visit other's blogs, so I can keep updated on every one's latest posts.
Wishing everyone a great late summer and beginning of fall!
I'll be back sometime in autumn.

    Hi
    Cielo sent me. I can't believe that you're disappearing but it's understandable -- and it will give me time to catch up on your past posts.

    Hello Barbara, Welcome to my blog! Unfortunately it's time for me to take a blog break. Once fall has kicked in, I intend to come back with some new artwork and more recipes. I'll continue visiting every one's blogs, so I can read and comment. I will also visit yours.
    I hope you enjoy reading my blog.
    Have a very nice day,
    Lydia

    Hi Lydia, Thankyou so much for your support and lovely comment left on Debbies blog. Everyone has been so kind. I appreciate the time you took to pop over to my friends blog to leave a message. Im so sorry you have had the same problem, I cant believe someone has said such nasty things about you. You look beautiful in your photo. They certainly must have been jealous of you. Hopefully my 'person' will get bored. Thankyou again, Mandy XXX

    Good evening dear Lydia,
    thank you for notifying me on my blog about your new design. I like the heading a lot, the autumnal flowers. I noticed a while ago your new "traffic feed" which is great because you can see who is visiting your blog. There are people from all continents, it seems ...
    The glitter graphics at the bottom are lovely and so are the nature sounds. I love the birds twittering and the running water.
    You did a great job, now I am looking forward to reading your new post.
    Wishing you a good time
