Taking A Blogging Break

{stop and focus - this photograph I took in Vermont captures that feeling for me}
One of my ambitious goals this new year was so switch this blog APPLESandRUBIES over to a new blog with a new title and a better focus on eco-friendly design and living.

I'm overwhelmed, and having a hard time getting the new blog off the ground while writing posts, and have to, NEED TO  take a little break to focus on getting the work done. I might move the blog to Wordpress, or stay in Blogger, and need to figure this all out.

So, I WILL be back - just give me some time to get my new act together. If you've ever wanted to add a comment to a post please add one here- I really would appreciate any encouragement to move forward!

  6. Have a lovely break Loretta - I will miss your writing. I know what you mean, blogspot is really limited and I really would like to switch to wordpress which is so much prettier. Also blogs are like very hungry children, they need constant feeding! it's a job in itself!
