Hello my sweet friends!
Have any of you gone to any St. Patty day parades over the weekend? Do you celebrate this holiday? If so, what do you do? I'd love to hear from you in the comments below!!
This past week has been rough for me. I have been extremely ill and not feeling all too well. Doing my best to recover and get my energy back up there. Still struggling with a cold too.
Okay so before I get to today's question, I would really love to say THANK YOU to three of my sweet and loyal blog readers...Dorothy, Margaret & Lillian! These three ladies have sent me some gorgeous cards and boy did they put a huge smile on my face! Thank you ladies so much. It really made my week!!! I wish I could have posted pictures of the cards they sent because they are gorgeous but my I was not feeling well and in bed most of the weekend. I will try to post pics next week! Again, thank you ladies!!
Okay on to today's question.....
Today's question comes from Marisol V. who wants to know, " Do you use social media sites and if you do use them do you use them as a way to display your projects?"
Hello Marisol!
These days social media seems to be the main way anyone seems to socialize, at least in my opinion. I do think it's a bit too much but to answer you, Yes I do use social media sometimes but not to display my creative projects, no. I use Facebook to keep in touch with family, friends and some of my close bloggy friends. I do have a Twitter account but rarely ever go on there. I only joined Twitter so that I could keep up with my favorite businesses and celebrities but I really don't have the desire or the time to keep up with it. And about six months ago or so, I created an Instagram account but for the life of me, cannot figure out how to really use it so I just don't bother with it either. I really believe that people spend way too much time on social media and that it has gotten to the point where people think they will literally "die" if they cannot access it. I mean its pretty sad when you have a family sitting around a dinner table, not communicating or saying a word to one another because as they eat dinner, they are on their phones texting or browsing. I see this happening all the time and I hear about it way too often. In my house, no electronics of any kind are allowed at the dinner table. That is the only time these days where our family comes together all at once to have family time while sharing a nice meal. No interruptions, no social media, no phones. I like it that way. :)
Well I appreciate your writing in Marisol and great question too! I hope to hear from you again soon!!!!
Before I go, I wanted to share a little St. Patrick's day treat with you all that I think you and the family would enjoy. A delicious mint Shamrock Shake!
