Why Nots...

Afraid to be upfront with your thoughts? or do you just refrain because you want to be a "good" person? Sometimes you just have to let go!

Why not send a Why Not notecard and let someone know exactly what you're thinking.

Refresh :: Renew

I've been snail blogging for quite a bit now - no ones fault but my own - work, life, family, etc. I guess you could say one of my New Years Resolution for 08' was a flop! Okay so maybe not - I do twitter with friends, crafters, artists & designers - that has to count for something. Ya think? I'll wait five minutes for a response (smile).

Well no one responded...

With the above being said I'd like to apologize to anyone that's been following the a-iek blog or attempting to. I am tying up loose strings and body parts so we can get ourselves back in order to blog more often...refreshing & renewing is what I am calling it. So hang in there (note to self also), we're still here!

As always thanks for everyones continued support and well wishes!
