Throwback Thursday - More Blog Posts

 Re-share from (2020). Amyl Creations is going to be sharing some of the products she loved and she is sharing updates on them so you can judge for yourself!

Before starting this website and blog, I had a blog on blogger. I would talk about Arts and Crafts obviously and about some of the products I would buy. This was before I got into most of the things I blog about and even sell now. I was just learning how to crochet when I started that blog and thought others would maybe benefit from seeing what I learned as I grew my skills in the crochet world. And that's really what I thought I would stick to. I thought I would learn more Stitches and Patterns and I would just blog all the time about all the wonderful new things I could do. And I was wrong.

After a while, life just got in the way and I felt a need to blog every day, and yet I didn't really have anything to say. Kind of like what happened with this blog after the first year and a bit. That's why I took a break and really decided to find more worth talking about. One of the things I did there, that I kind of carried over here in the form of Reviews was an "Amazon Addiction" post. And I would write about the stuff I bought from Amazon or that I was looking to get or had added to my wish list and that would basically be the end of it.

So now I have about 50 blog posts over on blogger that are just sitting in my drafts. Once I started blogging here I moved this blog over there and just unpublished everything I previously had. (I also ended up posting things here that I used to have posts of so that I could save them somewhere and share them at the same time). So I decided to update those posts and share them here. Maybe they will be useful, maybe not.

So you can look forward to seeing more about other things also, hopefully. Most of the old posts I had were crochet related, but some of them weren't. Some, like I said were about shopping and just stuff like that. So I am going to go through my drafts and my website and see which would be nice to share and hopefully I can squeeze some of them in!

Creative Arts

As some of you may know, Creative Arts was started by just one person, me, Amy. You will notice my name almost everywhere I am A. L. Keegan, I am Amyl Creations, I am 15 Designs, I write the recipes for Master of the Kitchen, I create the puzzles for Puzzle Time Games, Creative Photography and for the most part I wrote (and will write) all the blog posts! And last year I added Bath and Body products to my company/website under the product line name: A - Z Soaps. I had hoped to add Event Baskets also where you can create your own basket filled with all the goodies I have to offer but we didn't end up doing that. Hopefully Event Baskets will come in 2021!

As you can imagine all of that is hard work for just one person. And that is why I took a break from writing these blogs. Blogs took up a large part of my life and I would write them a month ahead of time just to make sure everything went out on time. It was exhausting. I started this website and blog with good intentions. I have always been creative and I know a lot of people that are also. I thought it would be a great (and cheap) way to show the world my work and my friends' talents. Ultimately, that backfired. Some of my so-called friends were lying to me about their talent and my company had a rocky start. It was a setback and a huge blow to say the least. (I won't name names but we had a huge problem when trying to share content on other websites like Deviant Art.) Now I am happy to say that I have a small group of friends that I trust on here sharing their work. I can't wait to share with you what we have been up to! I thank you all so much for taking the time to read this. And I hope you enjoy my new ideas for blog posts. I really don't know if I will post regularly like I used to or what posts I will have going. But some is better than none and I plan to do what I can when I can and still find a balance in my day to day life.

New Year, New Us, Again

Well, 2020 didn't go as planned for anyone, including us! We had a great start with the blog and then things kind of fell apart (thanks a lot COVID-19)! We had a lot of plans for last year, some that we got to do, like launch more bath and body products for A - Z Soaps! And some didn't happen like this blog. So we decided like many, to just forget that 2020 ever happened and start fresh! You will see some repeats to start the year with, we are going to re-post all the HelloFresh posts we had last year but we are going to add more to the week. Our goal is to go back to posting every day and to bring back some of the themes we loved writing about! We also hope to bring you updates with everything going on with us and what is to come!

So in the spirit of starting over, I am going to share now a little repeat of what I shared last year at this time. For the first week of this year we are going to be showcasing our artists again and what they have been up to! We hope to share more creative ideas and items with you so that you can be inspired to make your own Creative Arts. We hope you enjoy our new ideas for blog posts. Make sure to check back here and on our other social media's to make sure you don't miss a thing!
