Testing, testing

I am officially entering the blog world.  For most of you, that’s no big deal.  For me, it’s like….transcending into the computer age of the future.  You see, I just got internet at home only a few months ago.  I kept resisting technology (yes, folks, I had it at work).  Didn’t get a cell phone until 2 years ago.  But my crafty buddy, Kristin, convinced me that I should give this a go and record my crafty pursuits and whatnot.  So, armed with her help, here I am.

Because of my “hectic” lifestyle (full time trust officer in a bank, husband, 2 children under the age of 8 AND an adorable dog),  I use the internet to try and find crafty inspiration (and stalk Etsy, but that’s for another time).  There are a lot of people who craft, knit, etc. – and they do it a whole lot better than me.  But I’ll feed off of that and try to incorporate it into my small creative world.

Below is a picture of some homemade bookmarks that my CB, Kristin, and I did one snow-and-wind-filled-night.  She had the idea and I just played along.  I love to read so this was fun for me. 

In the time it took me to crank out 3 collaged bookmarks, she had done all of the rest that you see. 

I’m….a…..litttle…….slower……than…………….her.

If I can figure out to upload pictures, my next post will to rhapsodize about the paper tree ornament (and others) I crafted up to give away at Christmas.  I love ornaments – they’re fun, they’re small, they’re easy to do.  And you can never have enough!

Ta ta,
