The holiday season is a wonderful time of year. It's also one of the busiest times for many of us. It's really easy to get tied up in the chaos and not have the time to enjoy what's really important. No matter how busy you are take the time to recharge and relax a little. I know that is easier said that done. You just have to do it.
I looked at my email inbox a few minutes ago and felt the stress of knowing I have no chance of answering all of them. I took a deep breath and told myself that you all understand. I promise I will work through as many of them as I can.
There are a few emails I get every day. This might help if I don't get to your question answered.
"Would you change my subscription email address?"
Simply visit the blog and type in you new email address in the subscription box. You will receive an email confirmation that you will have to respond to for the change to happen. If you still have the old email address and want to stop those emails just click the unsubscribe at the bottom of any of the previous newsletters you have received.
"Would you make me a pattern?"
This time of year I have almost no extra time but sometimes I can work in a special pattern. Keep in mind that a pattern that others might be able to use also is easier for me to do because I can use it in a post. If the pattern is very specific I very likely won't take it on. It's okay to ask just understand I may not reply.
"Thank you for what you do."
I am very lucky to have a wonderful group of people who follow my blog. My ego gets pumped when you send me "thank you" emails. These are so much appreciated. I always want to reply back an let you know how much they mean to me but I would spend a couple hours a day if I did. Just understand that I read all of them.
"Where on your blog can I find a pattern I once saw?"
Don't try to find the pattern on the blog. Search for it in the free online catalog. All the patterns ever published on the blog are in the catalog. The catalog has search features and categories. The catalog link is at the top of the blog.
"Can I give you thousands of dollars because I think you are great?"
This is another one of those ego boosting emails I receive. I'm sorry but I have to insist that you keep all donations to under $1000. Okay I lied about this email. I have never received this one but I'm waiting. :)
"Your spelling and vocabulary are atrocious!"
Guilty as charged. Luckily most people come to my blog to get free patterns. For all of you who like to correct my grammar I actually appreciate the emails. It's not helping much but I have come to understand the difference between saying "idea" and "ideal" in my videos. That one drives people crazy and they let me know about it.
