M.I.A. NO MO! + JAN-FEB COLLECTIVE HAUL

was I gone for a long time or was I gone for a long time?? OMG! I think so too!! in fact it was waaaay too long I almost forgot my blogger password... LOL.... I have all kinds of excuses why I haven't been bloggin but I'm not about to start enumerating them now coz obviously, no matter what excuse you have, no matter how busy you are, if you wanna blog, you're GOHNNA blog! but what I had was far more serious than just excuses, I was in a funk!! & boy I could not get out of it!!!

but all it took was one peek at the blog world & it brought me back... one peek reminded me of what I love doing... your awesome comments reminded me that I have readers who love visiting my blog, so I forced my self to snap out of it & get to bloggin again!!

thank you so much for all the lovely comments!! they are like fuel that keeps me goin.... =).. thank you to all the new followers!! you are the reason why (except for this lovely addiction of course) I blog!!
