If you are popping over here for the first time to discover that I have completely fizzled with the creativeness factor that was this blog, I still blog at my first love...Slurping Life. Drop by to say hello...but yell over there because the boys are really loud.
Days have passed. I have been trying to decide what I wanted, needed to say. I couldn't even complete my own project of the last two weeks. My apologies. Where has my time gone?
Life is pulling me, turning me, twisting me. Have you ever been there?
My family is quite consuming...there are a variety of special needs at work. There are day-to-day needs to be met. There are normal aspects of life to live.
I also have my passions. One of which is photography. I've been studying, working to truly learn the art.
Lately I am working hard to meet the needs of my family, but also I have discovered my needs and passions. I am not ready to lead here at Wrapped Emotions. Time and energy are limited.
I want to thank each of you for your enthusiasm and creative, emotional sharing. You ladies are inspiring...you truly know how to live with your hearts. Don't stop. Live with your heart...you know how...maybe someday we'll meet here again.
Take care and blessings to you.

I understand the pulling, turning, and twisting.
Your investment in your family and your passions is inspiring.
With so much love, EA
I completely understand this Melody! You have inspired me so much already - I will continue to create in the spirit of WE. Be with your family and keep nurturing your own needs and passions.
I too understand. Wrapped Emotions has been such a blessing for me and I have made many new friends from our time here together. Thank you for helping us to see into our own hearts with honesty and for reminding us to live in the moment.
Best Wishes to you and yours!
Oh Melody, I understand.
Your first responsiblity is to your family and their needs, and to yourself and your needs.
I have loved doing WE and will continue to try and create with the spirit in mind.
Thank you!
Best of luck!
Melody, I think you met the goal of the blog---you are unwrapping who you are, who you are meant to be, and doing what is best for you and your family. What a success story. If it helps, I don't hate crafts as much either! I hope to catch you on the net. You are an inspiration.
I'm glad you're taking care of yourself and your precious family, Melody. If that's not an example of leading, then I don't know what is.
I'm so sorry I missed your last project at WE... life just filled up all the spare moments over the last two weeks at our house too. Believe me, I understand.
This blog has been a real blessing and encouragement to so many. And I know you will continue to encourage and bless the lives of all who know you wherever you go.
You're an amazing person and I feel so very blessed to count you as a friend. Hugs to you and yours!

Melody, you are leading by example. You need to take care of your family and yourself first and foremost.
I have loved doing your projects and sharing creativity with the lovely contributors of your blog. It was fun, and thank you for starting this. I unearthed parts of my creative brain that hadn't seen daylight in quite some time. :)
Blessings to you.
I have to agree with everyone else's comments. This blog really has been wonderful, and it may indeed be wonderful and lively again. Although I too didn't get to the last project either, life has a way of taking hold and not letting go for a little awhile it's true.
Take care. :)
Thank you Melody for giving me the opportunity to discover so much about myself through the projects here. I will be able to continue to unwrap my emotions on my own... thanks for heading me down this path.
Family is the most important thing, so it is certainly understood that this is what you need to do.

Melody, sad to see it go... but definately understood. I wish you the best. You have done so much for others by hosting this site, inspiring us to look at ourselves and I hope I can continue to do so in other ways. Best wishes!
Melody, I am speechless. I love you so much, and appreciate your transparency. Wrapped Emotions has been a wonderful journey,and it doesn't stop here.
I seriously just got finished with a post, and popped over here to link to something. You won't believe how this fits with what I'm going through right now.
Be blessed, sister! And I'll see you at Slurping Life.
You are so special. Thanks for all you have taught me. You brought back a new perspective to my life. The journey continues for me.
God bless you and your family. I completely understand.
blessings to you too, sweet Melody. Thank you for bringing this inspiration in...

Hi what a great blog you have:) really enjoyed reading it. Im a mum of two my son has aspergers. So I dont find much time to go out so enjoy blogging and reading other blogs. Yours really entertained me.x
I think it's really great how you try to channel your negative feelings into something positive, like photography.
Being only 17, I haven't experienced the numerous things you have, but I know you're taking good steps in the right direction. Keep living your life to the fullest! :)
