I am BLOGGING!

A few years ago I said I would never text, be on Facebook or Twitter and I didn't even know what a blog was for sure.  I thought a Blog was like an online diary and why would anyone want to share their intermost thoughts with the world?  Now I am on Facebook and I love it as it helps me stay close to my extended family.  I fought the need for a Smartphone because all I thought I needed a phone for was well, making phone calls!  Now I have one of those and I am texting too!  I still say I will NEVER Twitter but who knows.

Now I am BLOGGING!  Why?  As a crafter I am always in search of inspiration, subscribing to numerous craft magazines over the years.  With the computer age and so many "free" sources online, many of my old relables are no longer being published.  And wow has Pinterest added a whole new dimension of inspiration!  But, even after being inspired, I never find myself "copying" someone elses ideas.  I always put my own spin on it OR spend hours truly creating my own designs.  I feel like many of my designs are not like anything else I have seen and I want to share them with others.  My daughter has been encouraging me to have my own blog for sometime and I have resisted because of time constraints.   Time spent blogging means less time creating!!!

I want to share my creations so here I am with the help of my techno savey daughter.  I have a lot to figure out, like how to make this page prettier and how to add pictures.  I won't be a daily blogger but hopefully I can tear myself away from my creative space when I have a new creation to share.
