taking a break from my card blog right now, and not spending any money on my hobby outside of my stamp club orders. I just need some time to step back. I am still making some cards, but not taking photos of them, and uploading them, and feeling pressured to post something daily. It stesses me out. It’s been nice to not have self-inflicted pressure.
I’m here. I finally took a big step and started a card blog that is just for my work. No more combining family, random thoughts, photos of my kid, personal struggles/enlightenment and stamping stuff all on one blog. I still have my personal blog, but NOW I have my stamping blog.
Thanks Nicolle B. for you comment on looking forward to my card blog. . .you were the only one who commented about my big step, and that comment is what got me bugging my DH to make it happen.
So, why do I call it Ben’s Asleep? Well, it’s quite simple really. I create while my son sleeps, and his name is Benjamin–but Ben had more of a ring to it. I must give credit to our good friend Alex who helped come up with the name. You see, we were all sitting around the table at Mama Fu’s discussing my cards while chowing down on some noodle dishes. We all agreed I needed a website to start my card business. So, one thing led to another, and Ben’s Asleep was happily agreed upon. An hour later, we bought the domain name.
Am I selling my cards on here? No, and I am not sure if that will happen. I am just blogging about my hobby, and hoping to set up a little corner in the stamping blogosphere.
I hope you will be inspired and laugh with me through this journey of discovering my style–I still haven’t quite figured it out yet.
I’ll be posting a card soon. . .
