Oh My! Handmade

Oh My! Handmade

Making a good life since 2010

a fond farewell {blog for sale}

Thursday, May 20, 2010 by Sara Tams

It’s with mixed emotions that I’ve recently decided I can no longer continue running OMHG. I’ve really been enjoying the community that has formed here, and I’m so proud of what we’ve created. Unfortunately, I never realized how time consuming it would be, and with two full-time jobs already (running sarah + abraham in addition to being a stay-at-home-mom), I’ve been feeling like something has to give.

I’d love to see OMHG continue… if you’re interested in purchasing this blog, please contact me. In the meantime, it will become a fully archived site. All of the content will remain available, but it’ll no longer be updated until someone else is able to take over.

Thank you to all of the contributors and readers for making OMHG such a fun and rewarding project!
