Back to our regularly scheduled blogging...

I know I've been neglecting you, my regular readers and for that I am truly sorry! I tried a little experiment this week. I played along with the "give away day" from Sew Mama Sew to see what it would do to my viewing numbers and also maybe drum up a little business for my Etsy shop. I have to admit.. it was a giant bust. It did boost my readership for a couple of days but now I am back to my usual numbers. Those "johnny come latelys" have all gone home and it did nothing for my Etsy shop either. I don't know how those people with enormous readerships keep up with it all. It took up quite a lot of time and made me realize, I am happy just having you guys and wanted to say "thanks" for sticking with me. We will now continue with our regularly scheduled blogging!

Sorry it wasn't more productive for you. I saw you had something like 80+ comments on the giveaway and was hoping that translated into better etsy traffic. You never know, you could be bookmarked for later. :)

and I've been neglecting you - my new job has played havoc with my reading habits. Will try to check in more regularly - but it may be after the holidays before things settle down.

I'm still around and will keep coming back to see what you and the kids are up to. Of course my visits like my blog posts have been a bit sporadic. I'll try to be better about stopping by more regularly!
I have to agree with you about sticking with your regular readers. If I have to regularly give things away to get people to read my blog because they just enter the contest and take off without visiting again, I'd rather stick with my regular bloggy friends & readers. Afterall they are the best bloggy people out there! I think small bloggers are the best bloggers...they respond to posts and e-mails. The big bloggers just don't have the time to respond to everyone but it makes it less fun.
