Hello again, Thanks for your comment on my card and thanks for asking me to participate in your candy giveaway. When my husband died eighteen months ago I found it very difficult to continue with my blog but I didn't give up entirely. I used to make a card and add it almost every day and obviously that stopped. However, I did add just a few lines maybe once a week to keep my blog 'alive' and to say that I would be back eventually. I haven't got back to blogging as I did but I'm still there and I hope that things will get back to the way they were. I can't comment on all my favourite sites as I did because it seems so frivolous to 'chat' when my husband is no longer here to add his twopennyworth. Anyway, I'm glad you're back and look forward to joining in. Hazel L. x

Sorry, I omitted to say that I have fulfilled your request of adding to my sidebar, etc. Oops. Hazel L. x

How to be a consistent blogger - what keeps me organized on what I need or want to do is the calendar option in my email - I can enter whatever I like - for instance - I could enter on Date March 26 - Just Keep on Creating challenge ends and I would receive an email that day to remind me it is the end of the challenge. I use this to download digital freebies that are offered on certain days as well so I do not forget to visit that blog. I hope this helps - have a lovely week!

Hi there :) welcome back to blogland, and what an amazing way to celebrate your comeback its so very generous of you. Thanks so much for the chance to win such awesome goodies. I've linked you up on my sidebar and have also entered into the challenge on your other blog. As for a tip on consistent blogging, i'm always looking for tips myself as i'm really no good at it myself, I always have good intentions but time just seems to slip away from from me and before I know it weeks and months have gone by so, not sure if its 'brain fog' or an age thing lol. Happy crafting and again thankyou for the opportunity to win. Hugs xnx

Leanne said...

How to be a consistent blogger? I think I should also read the tips you're given. However, currently I'm making an attempt to enter challenges to be consistent.

I'm so glad to see you back! I've missed your challenge blog! I've joined your personal blog and was already a follower of your challenge blog. :) You made my morning so much brighter! Thanks friend! ;)

What a fantastic giveaway...well I have been blogging since 2010 and I do have the inevitable spells of absence from blogland but the "high" which blogging gives always gets me back to blogging eventually!! I guess having a circle of blogging friends from around the world helps to keep blogging.When I took a sabbatical from blogging I actually had crafters mail me and even call me up to see if everything was fine!!

As for being a consistent blogger, I belong to a couple design teams and that really helps me stay on track with my blogging because I have to LOL! There are some months where it is hard to get the minimum posts on my blog for my DT posts just because of everything else going on. Don't worry! We all have times like that and we understand! Just keep the crafts flowing and you will have plenty to blog about. Thanks for this amazing chance to win. You are so very generous! Have a great day!

Hello - I am your newest follower! Thank you for your comment on my blog telling me about your giveaway!

KT Fit Kitty said...

I have posted your badge on my sidebar and linked up as well. Thank you so much for the chance to win all your goodies! I am drooling over them now LOL.

My suggestion to be consistent with blogging is to join a design team. My life is a lot more hectic lately because my BF and I just bought a house and we are renovating, repairing, painting, packing, cleaning, etc. Then we have our two old houses to do the same, to get ready to sell. I would not be blogging if it weren't for my DT's as I wouldn't make crafting a priority. However, I NEED my crafting time - it keeps me sane LOL. My other tip is to enter challenges. I just entered your Just Keep on Creating challenge - I love challenges!!! I find them very inspirational - they give me lots of ideas! I hope you enjoy being back to the blogging world! I am fairly new to blogging myself - started last June.

It would be great if you would like to follow my blog as well: http://ktdesigns2013.blogspot.ca/

Hugs,
Kitty

Awesome, awesome, giveaway! You can count me IN! I've followed you and added the lovely badge to my sidebar.
Now, for the tip: when you feel the mojo gushing, just craft and blog like anything! Then just schedule your posts so that you're consistent, albeit fakely*evil laugh*

Stephanie said...

Hi! I've added your giveaway to my sidebar and I'm a follower. Being on a DT helps keep me posting regularly. Because I have an assigned day to post, it helps me motivated to keep making cards and to posting them on my blog. Another thing that helps with consistency is to enter challenges. I keep a list of challenges I enjoy and make sure to keep some of them in mind as I craft. Thanks for the chance to win your generous giveaway.

I already followed you :)

Giorgia Rossini said...

I don't know how to be a consistent blog, maybe planning post can help - you write them down when you have time and program them to be online when you want

Ginny B said...

suzART, what an amazing giveaway you have! I know whoever wins it will be so blessed. :o) I have become a follower, posted my link and put your badge on my sidebar. On consistency, I try to post 2-3 times a week, depending on how much time and creativity are available. If I get stuck, looking at others' creations really helps to get me motivated. There is so much talent out there!

new follower and I posted your giveaway on my blog. For me participating in challenges keeps me blogging regularly. I love the chance to win something! I also try to keep my garden blogging up to date just for my own records but I'll admit I'm not always so diligent. I'd rather spend my time digging in the dirt or making cards than editing photos! Thanks for the giveaway!
