Confessions of a blogger ~

So what am I going to confess?
Well, sometimes....I got nothing. I mean it.
Sometimes I've not been creative,
or I'm tired and just I have no imagination whatsoever!
But does that mean I won't blog?? Not a bit!!!

I still have to say hello, that I'm so glad to be here,
that I'm so very glad you're here
and that I've been fortunate enough
to "meet" so many of you through this blog of mine.

I'm coming up on my 3 year blogiversary
February 11th and of course
I want to have a giveaway to celebrate!!
So now I just need to decide what to give away....


Here are a few more images I scanned for you
from the books that I found this weekend!





I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday precious friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

GMTA, as my husband would say....great minds think alike! ;-)
I'm right where you and Debra are many a day. But it's the wonderful, incredible people that keep me going.

Blogging can sometimes take a lot out of you, but it gives back sooooo much! You already know that, but I just wanted you to know that you're one of the big reasons (and inspirations) keeping me going!

Love,
Anne

I love the connection you make with your blogging friends. Thank you for 3 years! Many blessings to you, sweet Dawn.

We can't always be productive but you are 20 times more productive than most people. Thanks for posting the images that are lovely as always, but most of all thanks for just posting to say hi. I've missed hearing from you lately.

Hope all's well. Love & Hugs...Tracy :)

I love the middle page, it is perfect for a little spring poem.

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

Lovely images, Dawn! It seems a lot of people have blog anniversarys in the Winter ~ I think there's a correlation there!

Dorthe said...

Dawn, dearest, -it is like that for all of us, I guess....
The inspiration isn`t there alwayes, the everyday takes energy, and leaves us now and then without any left for other projects,than just being.
But anyway you alwayes gives inspiration and loving thoughts to us, thankyou dear.
The emages shared here is gorgeus, thank`s.

Love and hugs Dorthe

Thespa McLaughlin said...

I completely understand your feeling. I'm there more often these days than I care to admit. I want to share something wonderful and creative everyday but truth is I just don't have it in me all the time, especially working 2 jobs and taking care of 3 kids. Maybe someday I'll have more time to do the things I would like, but I'm not counting on it, LOL. Love the images you shared today! Thanks! I put some images of a magazine from 1868 up today, come visit if you get time. Have a great, productive, and creative day!

We have all been there. I can't believe you have been blogging for three years...amazing! Love the images. Thank you!

Sweet Old Vintage said...

Dawn... I believe it is the time of year. It is hard to come up with things of interest everyday... I am also struggling... My mind is thinking many interesting things I cannot have but for now I am going to blame the void in my life on lack of sunshine..... Have a blessed day.

You always manage to keep us interested, no matter what you have to say!

Vee said...

Ahhh there's the difference between you and me...when I've got nothing, I don't bother to show up. What a sweetheart you are and I've yet to see the time when you had nothing. Thanks for being a great friend in Blogdom to us all.

Hello Dawn
Well after 3 years - you do deserve a break now and then! Love the pictures you scanned especially the bird print.

I found your blog today, and am a new follower now! I am so drawn to your bird and artwork. I, too, am moved deeply by observing the birds, and inspired to trust through them. Thank you for the free images,too, I uploaded the chubby bird with the child image. darling!

Thank you for sharing the images. Love the black & white ones. Congratulations on David & Jerri's engagement. Sounds like a romantic place for a wedding. Have a great day. Charlene

Hi Dawn sweet,
I am so glad that you have loved this for three years. Sometimes when I get those insecure feeling that no one will want to read what I have written in a post, I wonder how long I will last at blogging. I am so grateful that there are such amazingly supportive people out here and that they do read my ramblings. It really has been a blessing for me to have this to help fill my sometimes boring days.
hugs
Thank you for three wonderful years Dawn!

Journal Swag said...

Hi Dawn, that's ok, we all feel that way from time to time! Blog even when you don't have a lot of words. A quote, a picture, a few words on their own, everything is good, and none of us have any expectations of how many times a certain person should blog. You're great, just the way you are!

Love,
Sheila

Hi sweet friend, I think you are normal and too hard on yourself. We all have times when nothing comes to us. This to will pass. Enjoy the day and relax and just listen to the Lord. Love, Theory
