A Little Whimsey and a Question

I admit it. I like a little whimsy in my decorating.

Since the bathroom remodel I have been trying to figure out what to hang on the walls.

Walls are my nemesis. I see so many of you who have a knack for the perfect piece of art to complement a room, or you can put together a gallery wall seemingly at the drop of a hat.

I agonize. I think. I rethink, I overthink.

Finally, I came across a shadowbox that I had forgotten about and having seen something like this on (where else?) Pinterest, I thought I would give it a try.

 So I dug out my tiny paper stash (I am not a paper artist!) and my silhouette and came up with these.

Forgive the photo quality, it's a darkish north facing room and a gloomy day.

 And I ended up loving them so much that I made two! I think they add just the right amount of color and pattern to the wall.

And just enough whimsy!

Now to the question...where have all the bloggers gone? I don't mean the big deal bloggers who do this for a living and seem to have a never ending budget for new home décor, I mean the girls who got this party started. The bloggers who share themselves and their homes and their lives.

Is it just me or are we dropping like the proverbial flies?

I check my favorites list and find abandoned blogs, I check my bloglovin' list and find some of my favorites have just stopped blogging with no explanation.

Are we feeling intimidated by the big girls? Losing interest? Busy for the summer and coming back soon ? ( I hope!)  Just so you know, the real girls are my faves.  I check some of the bigger, doing it for money blogs, they have great projects and ideas, but I really come here for the ladies who I can imagine inviting over for coffee and a chat. 

Talk to me, is it my imagination or are we losing peeps?
