One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time." Andre Gide

I started this blog just over 2 years ago. Through it I have met some wonderful people and have had the opportunity to inspire others, to teach them and to help motivate them to create. I am however finding that I am not going where I wanted with this, with my work and with my art. I find keeping this blog frustrating, hard and a gloomy chore. That is most defiantly not what I want. So after listening to my inner voices for months now I have made the decision to stop posting here. Those voices tap me on the shoulder daily and tell me to dream bigger so that is exactly what I am doing. I have so much energy and inspiration but I am finding it all overwhelming. I need to acknowledge those voices and do what will make me happy and make me fall in love with my work again. Working from home has been anything but easy, I’m so so so grateful that I get to be at home but I need to refocus and get back on the right path. Will this be the end of this blog / business all together? Truthfully I don’t know but I think so, I do know though, that it feels right. I have my personal blog where you can still follow me, still find inspiration but it will be because I want to post and not because I feel I have to. I will be leaving this blog open to read because of the archives, perhaps that will change I’m not too sure. I do know that I have so many ideas and projects in my head that it feels as though it may burst and most of those ideas have nothing to do with scrapbooking. I feel I turned this blog solely into that- a scrapbooking blog and I don’t want that. I want to create, to try new things and to share all of them with you. So with that my friends I am off. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to all my readers, your kind words and support have been greatly appreciated. Please pop on over to An Extraordinary Ordinary Life and see what I’m up to. Any work & creating that I do will be there for you, not to mention random stories that might just make you giggle or inspire you to try something new or discover something new. You can still email me- nkwolansky@hotmail.com; I will still be doing custom work, designing kits & teaching classes. I won’t be too far away, I just won’t be here.
Love, love, love,
Nadine

The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out who you are, seek to determine what you want to be” – Neale Donald Walsch
