Thrifty Thursday is Retiring


There are several reasons I have decided to stop hosting Thrifty Thursday.  I have been considering it for awhile now.  I started it when my blog was really young, and have met some wonderful, creative women over the last 80 weeks.  Let’s be honest, there really are a ton of these things.  Are we truly intermingling and forming relationships, or just one time visits and impersonal comments?  Is this one different than host of others?

I will continue to feature great projects, and fill the space with what speaks to me.  I appreciate all of you who participated.  Thank you for being here and sharing.  I am grateful to have your time.

I’ll miss you party but I know we’ll continue to share creativity with each other. Thanks for hosting for 80 weeks!

You are right…. it all has to be stemming from ‘love’. otherwise it is not worth it. I think it was a wise decision if you don’t enjoy it anymore. From experience, parties actually take a lot of time, and usually it is not the host who benefits most….

So, now, you can come (and /or send everyone) to http://www.finecraftguild.com/party as I have just began holding parties on Wednesday. I think I did only 20 parties, and so actually I still really enjoy it. Having said this, I completely understand where you are coming from. Parties are not for ever…

Ohhh, and of course, I forgot to say THANK YOU for 80 great parties !!1

Sorry to see you go. I’ve loved your blogs but I am sure it takes so much of your time to publish a blog. Thank you for all of the wonderful ideas.

Shirley, I am not going, just Thrifty Thursday link party. SBLC will carry on, so you have not seen the last of my ideas. xoxo,

Sorry to see Thrifty Thursday end, but I understand. At least I have your blog to read, and the things you feature are always great. Thanks!

I will be sad to see your Thrifty Thursday end, but as all good things do, the time comes to make a change. I’ve been thrilled to share a few of my own ideas during your Thrifty Thursday sharings, but don’t think I won’t be back just because that part is ending! Your blog is really fun and inspiring, and I’m glad I found it when I did. I will certainly be hanging around for some more blogging from you!!
