renaissance - take two

ok, so if you glance down three entries, you'll see that i had hopes to breathe a little life into things around here... and well, that was over a year ago. once again, life got busy. we added another member to our family in november - so between wrangling a toddler, being pregnant, giving birth, and having a newborn in the house again, i was able to keep up with the kids' journals and that's about it.

however, this time i'm going to try harder.

i've been really feeling a creative itch lately. in fact, i decided to finally try to sell some of my creations, and i opened up a shop on etsy.com (feel free to check it out - sobenarts.etsy.com) where i've listed some of my handcrafted jewelry and paper stuffs like cards and such. its something i can do a little at a time - a pair of earrings here, a birthday card there - and let out some creative energy. but i still want to write - and hopefully i'll post at least a little less sporadically.
