I love Make it from Scratch. I love the carnival. I love the variety of contributors here, and of course all you readers that have support us.
But I don't think MIFS is all that it could be. I have spread myself too thin, and been unable to give this blog the attention I would like to. That can be said about many areas of my life right now. The tragic events of this summer have forced changes and choices. We, as a family, and I, personally need to pull in, downsize, and regroup. The choices and processes have not been easy, but they are necessary.
One of the hard choices is this blog. The time has come to set it aside, indefinitely. My attention and time need to be focused elsewhere right now.
So, this is goodbye to Make it from Scratch. I plan to continue my personal blog, Adventures in the 100 Acre Wood, and will probably incorporate more recipes and the like there than I have been in recent years. A big thank you goes to our contributors, past and present. I hope you continue to visit them at their personal blogs. Thanks Jenn at 11th Heaven's Homemaking Haven, Mary at Simply Forties, Rina at Gotta Little Space, Jenn at Frugal Front Porch, and Liss at Frill in the Hills. Thanks also go to former contributors, Kellie, and Heather.
Thanks too to our readers and everyone who has participated in the carnival. Sharing ideas, recipes, and projects is what this blog is all about, and it never could have been with out the contributors and participants to this site and carnival. I wish you continued success in combining frugality and creativity.

ReplyDeleteIt is a wise person who knows how to make good decisions. Although, I will miss you and the blog, I am happy, you could take a step back and do what is right for you and those you love.
ReplyDeleteStephanie -- You and I have been blog friends even before MIFS so I am very sad to see you close this down but do understand that family and our lives away from the computer are the most important matters. This has been a wonderful blog and the carnivals each week have been awesome to read and to participate in. Best wishes and prayers for you and your family as you move along in your journey.
