Well, I'm Back...ish!

Hello blogettes if you're still out there?

Just a quick update from me - almost three years after the previous entry below this one.
How are you all?
I hope life is being kind and if it's not, keep going. It'll get there xx

Me?
Well, I'm back to tagging and participating in my favourite forum once more :D
I know, right?! Who knew!
I just stopped looking for the ol' mojo. Went months without opening PSP.
But once in a while, I'd have a dabble.

Always found it so relaxing to sit and just - well, create a tag. Just like I used to love doing :)
No pressure. No commitments. Just...tag it!
When I "retired" I felt all tagged out. All making stuff out.
Hence, my "retirement" and I drifted away to the edges of the community.
But - it was totally worth it.

It cleared away a lot of the rigmarole that comes with an online presence and I got back to the "real" world.
Even got myself a job that I love which takes a heck of a lot of my time and energy but,
when able and I've got an hour spare, I still like to relax with a touch of tag making.
And, the love is still there. It never left. Hooray!
So, that's the update. I am still tagging - and loving it once more.

But for the foreseeable future there will be no new tutorials, no new masks, scraps or other such things.
Sorry but they are definitely still on indefinite hiatus with the notable exception of the Here 2 Help Collab which I am taking part in.

Mirella is a lovely lady and I am happy to be rebooting my PTU masks for use in this must-have collab.
Nope, not new ones. I tried. I failed. That side of my creativity is definitely on permanent holiday.
So, I had a thought. There were originally 15 masks released in 2011. Not many sales so not many people use them.
But in this collab I am reworking 10 of the masks with a fresh outlook.
They will be the 2.0 version, if you will.
So, if you missed them before, make sure you get the Here 2 Help Collab :)
But, there is so much more than my masks. I've seen some of the stuff going into the collab and it is truly amazing.

Anyway, I must get on. Tags to make lol! xx

Thank you for all the posts, the message and the likes that my various sites continue to receive.
They are always appreciated.

Keep taggin' xx

Cheery-Bye 'til we meet again!

Well then everyone - what a difference a few weeks can make!

I have decided to retire from the PSP tagging community from today.

Something Albert Einstein once said has been haunting me recently -
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"
And that's how I feel about my own personal tag-making at the moment. Gaaaah! lol!

Plus, I've never been brilliant at dealing en mass with moods swings, egos, tantrums, temperaments and the general day-to-day things that happen in the PSP community. It can be quiet and lovely for a while, then BAM! All out mayhem and drama coming from all sides. And that's never been something I've enjoyed.

So, I've finally taken the plunge and admitted that it's time to hang up my tag making tools and go and do something different instead.

It's been a pleasure making things and I've loved it but I think new challenges are needed in my life.

So, I'm stepping right back from the "tagging community" otherwise known as PSP land.
Retiring - sounds so grand? I ain't no Frank Sinatra loL! But I suppose that's what it is. Retirement.

My tutorial sites (my main tut site has over 200 tutorials so I'm not wasting them loL!) and these Blogger sites will continue to be online so hopefully, if you need a mojo refresh or you're looking for a mask or two to help you along, they'll be here for you. I'll pop in from time to time to see that all is well so hopefully links will remain active etc.

I shall remain registered with Tutorial Writers Inc and my Terms of Use are still effective indefinitely.

And never say never.
Maybe one day, I'll get the time and the taste for tagging again and if I do - well, as Arnie would say...

So until then,
Thank you for all the thanks, the tags, tubes, kits, tuts and laughs.
It's been a hoot and a half.
And special thanks to my lovely friends - you know who you are! - for all the support and friendship over these last few years. It wouldn't have been quite so much fun without you.

'Til we meet again
Have fun, happy tagging and Thank You

Your friend,

Vix xx
