Is this still up and running?

[JewelryGeek]

I see the last post was for February 12 and we haven't received a new person since; is this still up and running? I know my site hasn't been featured and there are a few others I have not featured yet as well. Does anyone know what has happened to the Blog Ring?

[trusk4u]

I don't know. I was wondering the same thing myself.

[briskmamma]

me too...

Ack! I'm so confused.  I could have sworn I saw a thread for a blog ring for this week, but now I don't see it.  Can someone help me?  Post the link to the current thread?  Also, is there a thread out there that shows which ring each person is in ("ring 1" & "ring 2")?  I sometimes fear I'm losing my mind!   :'( :'(

The last post dates I seen was for Feb 5 - Feb 12. Who else hasn't had their blog featured besides me? We can finish this off by ourselves I imagine.

This is the list of people who signed up, though many did not give blog addresses. I just copied what people posted in the start up thread for this round. This is my "good deed" for the day!

I know that I have been featured already.

[JewelryGeek]

How disappointing I see some names on there I have not personally blogged about. No one else really seems to be responding either. Not much we can do right?

[MakinTheBestOfIt]

This is my fault...guess this month I found out that I can not be Superwoman and stay on my feet.  Long story short I tried to do too much and paid the price for it.

I know there are some that have not been featured; though a few were skipped for other reasons such as not having a blog address listed or listing one that didn't go anywhere.

I will put up a new feature this Saturday and finish out this ring.  After this, however, if there is another blog ring, I hope that someone else will be willing to step in and run it as I am about to get even more swamped for a bit.

Again, no excuses, just an apology for dropping the ball.

It's okay Kim-we all know how things go sometimes! I just happen to have a tiny bit of time yesterday, that's why I did the list. I could remove it to avoid confusion if you like. Let me know.

[MakinTheBestOfIt]

No problem...you can leave it up!  I am finally getting to a point where life has some order again so I hope everyone understands.

It happens! This is my first blog ring so I'm not sure how the technicalities work. Don't over load yourself though! It is so unhealthy to your body and your crafted items! Stress can show signs of it's ugly face, on our bodies, for up to 6-9 months after a stressful situation has occurred. Not good! You should definitely schedule yourself some me time!

I just hope you're ok!

Thank everyone.  Many of you know that I have Lupus which is mostly controlled, we as much as it can be I guess, but we had a flu bug run through the house and it really set us back.  On top of the fact that I returned to full time work for the first time in 11 years of staying home with the kids and that has been a real adjustment for all of us.  I am trying to balance, but sometimes the scale tips a bit one way or another.

[Larissa]

Ugh, yeah.  Balance =/= easy.  Just take care of yourself, even if we did miss you terribly (which we did).
