The Beginning of the End

Not that any of you base your day around what is posted on Small Fry & Co, or even make it a daily habit to check this blog but should you see a rapid decline in posts for a while (or possibly permanently) I just don't want you to be alarmed or concerned.  I think this may be the beginning of the end (at least for a little while).  In January I will have been writing this blog for 3 years.  It started out being just for me but as I got a following I felt driven to come up with and blog even more ideas to keep readers coming back.  It has been thrilling, wonderful and exhausting all at the same time.  I have always wanted my blog to be full of useful content-ideas, tutorials, patterns, recipes.  I haven't filled my blogging days with endorsements or giveaways-I have been true to what I set out to do-write a craft blog.  But now my sweet small fry has stopped taking regular naps and my amount of time has been slashed extensively and I can not get done very much of what I need and or want to every day, let alone crafts to post.  I am slowing way down for a while so that I can catch up on a few things that are just for me (without needing to take pictures and write a tutorial for it) like updating all the photos in my home (most of which contain pictures of small fry when she was less than a year), do some digital scrapbooking, make ornaments for my girls for Christmas, get my craft room in order.  I am sure this isn't life altering to any of you-just want you to know what happened.  I will still post from time to time-I had a fantastic snowman week planned for November.  I will see what I can do with that.  Thank you to everyone who reads Small Fry and especially to those of you who comment-and comment on a regular basis, to those who have sent e-mails, bought stuff I have made, entered giveaways and to everyone who I have talked to in person who said, "I read this on your blog..."  It is you I have blogged for.
