Whooooaaa Nellie, we’ve jumped the track!
I’ve been watching it happen over the last couple months and because I’m still living out of boxes and barely hanging on to my sanity by the skin of my teeth, I’ve just been happy that my nose is above water and I can still breath!
I’ve been getting lots of questions and requests for this and that DIY tutorial. I wish I could do them all. I really do. I wish I could just pop over and help you with “whatever it is you want to get done”!
Somehow, this blog, that started out as my project diary, has become…well, a job. I’m ok with that because it’s a job that I love! (It pays beans, but I’ve always wanted to give back! LOL)
I have grown to love blogging and don’t think I can NOT do it. I live to read your comments every day. I enjoy interacting with you on Facebook and Twitter. I love hearing from women who have been empowered to DO FOR THEMSELVES something they didn’t think they could.
So, now that I have a job, I have to make a few changes around here.
1. Apparently, I’m too spontaneous to work within a schedule so I will continue to do DIY Boot Camp tutorials — whenever they work into what I’m doing in real life. I will catagorize them under the DIY/ DIY BOOT CAMP tab so they’re easy to find and refer too.
2. I’m going to start having more guest posts. Guest posting and being featured on other blogs was how I got any exposure as a blogger and I want to give others the same opportunity. I will feature AWESOME Craft, DIY, Decorating, Sewing… tutorial Guest Posts. See my “Get Featured page if you are interested in being spotlighted here on Sawdust and Paper Scraps.
3. I’ve started accepting “Sponsors” because beans don’t buy craft supplies. Interested in being a part of my exclusive list of Sponsors? Check out my “PR/Advertise” page.
4. Something I don’t want to reveal yet (crafty)
5. another something that I’m not sure about yet but I’ll let you know when I decide. (party like it’s 1999)
Ha ha!! Don’t worry about me losing my sense of humor! (I always like to point out when I’m being funny to be sure you don’t miss it!)

Glad you are taking sponsors. You need to pay for lots of pretty clothes to go into your pretty closet when it is finished. Plus you are going to need A LOT more summer clothes and A LOT less winters clothes now in TN.

Sandra glad you to a step back and made a plan that works for you, shows your true talents and keeps your bloggy friends happy! So smart to do-as-you-can and not make promises, then the pressure makes the whole idea no fun. And I will join you – my blog is my job that pays beans but I love it to death I can’t stop.

Love it! Way to make it work for YOU!! Bring on the ads, girl. I’ve been meaning to email you and say, “Come on!” go for it!

That’s so exciting! Btw, your closet built-ins look so amazing.
This crazy idea just popped into my head, but what if you did a series with guest bloggers called “Under 20” or something, and they featured building projects that were $20 or less. I would totally be up for guesting on that! I really need to make a little free standing shelf system for my bathroom to put between the toilet and vanity, and I’m on the tightest budget ever (pretty much any money I spend is going “over budget”) so I’m trying to figure out how I can build one with the scraps I have around my shop!

Awesome! I’m looking forward to all the new changes and secrets you have yet to reveal!
