The last time I tried blogging, I was pregnant and the word "blog" was still "web log." Now that unborn child that made me puke like it was my newfound religion is 13 and starting the 8th grade next week. My vocabulary has been shortened to half-words, acronyms, and various forms of smileys. As a professional writer, this should be distressing, but I am, frankly, relieved to be able to end any conversation with gtg :-).
All my little crafty friends (meaning they create craft objects, not that they are sly) seem to have blogs to share their stuff, so I'm giving this a try again as a way to share info about and photos of the projects I'm working on. I'm sure people will be happy to stop receiving picture texts from me saying "Look what I just made! Can you believe that??" Now they will receive texts saying, "Go look at my blog and see the picture of my project." Hard to believe I'm not more popular.
I am, at best, a reluctant crafter. Very unsure of my skills and certain that I am going to suffer a severe crafting injury. So far I've only gotten a bad case of scrapper's thumb, a swollen and tender thumb and tendons caused by extreme gripping of paper and an X-acto knife. I traded the knife for a good paper trimmer, took some anti-inflammatory, and that first injury is just fine. I'm picking up new skills, but am sooooo slow. I kind of like the slow pace I move at when I'm crafting--the rest of my life seems to scoot along so fast I'm sure I'm missing some good scenary on the way.
So, there's my first post. Going forward, I'll post some projects, some info on techniques I've just learned, info on products I'm discovering (and yes, it's like Columbus discovering the "new" world where thousands of people lived for thousands of years before his arrival), and random thoughts. I'm no Jack Handy, but, really, who is?
