It Was Fun White it Lasted. Farewell and Happy Holidays #mppr850 <3 Spaghetti Kisses and Cantaloupe Boats

Hi all!

After a semester of blogging, I would have to say my favorite part of the whole process is the satisfaction and liberating feeling of just getting your voice out.  In such a crowded world, sometimes it is hard to be heard with so many distractions.  Personally, I feel it is very liberating and empowering to have the authority to write exactly what you want to say and put it out for others to see!  Secondly, I really enjoyed  tagging each other in our blogs and looking to one another for how we can further share our content.  Finally, learning about how to upload all the different media forms has really made it easier to add some exciting spark and personality to my blog.

On the other hand, I would have to describe my biggest challenge was coming up with fresh ideas and content every week that was consistent with my theme.  Sometimes it was hard to think of a new topic that was still fun and exciting.  With topics that I was really passionate about, writing a new post was so thrilling!  But on those weeks where coming up with a jazzy idea was difficult, honestly, it was difficult to get to that 300 word mark…

As we close this semester, I have come to wonder whether or not I will continue in this world of blogging.  Honestly, if Spaghetti Kisses and Cantaloupe Boats still continues to flourish, I am sorry to say but it will no longer be about the holidays or celebrations of the past. I think I hit this topic pretty thoroughly…  But some time in the near future, I will continue with my posts. But if I do…it will be a new surprise topic!  So keep your eye out for me!

I wish you all a very merry rest of your holiday season!  It was so fun to be in this class and to read all of your blogs!  Happy 2012 #mppr850!
