A Break
Hey all, just wanted to let you know that I’m taking a break from blogging and One Red Robin. There are a few significant changes I have to deal with at the moment. So I’ll be away from this space for a while – not sure how long, maybe a few weeks or maybe months – but before I go, I just wanted to wish you all a very happy new year.
Thanks for all the support you have shown me this year (and the last few years). Every encouraging comment and email has meant so much and I am so deeply thankful for the friends I have made through this blog. Thank you for enjoying what I create and I hope that I will be able to get back into making, and sewing, and blogging again soon.
Take care,
Jhoanna
[EDITED 29.12.09: Thanks so, so much for all your comments! Your support and encouragement is deeply appreciated and is a huge comfort beyond words at this time. Thank you :-)]

Dear Jhoanna,
It will surely miss you much and hope that you come back soon!
I wish you for everything you want to do a lot of happiness and energy!
And perhaps I can then, if you’re back, better English :o)
Take care!
Kind regards from Marina ♥

Jhoanna,
Oh, I love coming to your blog and seeing the pretties that you are working on and learning about your creative process, too. Thanks for being such an inspiration to this newbie crafter. I hope that the significant changes are good ones and that you delight in them. If they are difficult ones, know I will be praying for strength to deal with them all.
Peace,
Vee (at Paper Dali)

Dear Jhoanna:
Best to you and yours. You are an amazing creative inspiration and I just love following your journey. I will miss your voice on the web but know that breaks are good and healthy for the soul to recoup and regenerate in other areas as well. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Love,

Just popped by and saw you are having a break.
Thank you for all your inspiration and for such a lovely blog.
Hope all is well with your family through this year and any changes are not too difficult
