Hello out there!

I never thought I’d be a “blogger”. In fact, when my husband told me he was reading an ex-coworker’s blog last year (and what that meant), I gave him one of my “what?” looks. I found that very odd, and wondered why anyone would want to do that. Read about someone’s life, that is. I know, I know, “Well, what about biographies?” you say? But that’s different. Anyhoo, spring forward to a few months ago, when my husband says, “Baby, you should join Flickr”. I probably gave him another look, or asked “Why?” to which he replied, “I bet you there’s a Martha group”. He proceeded to show me a page, where my eyes went directly to a bag… the prettiest orange & white tote bag… and it’s been downhill ever since. That night, I discovered the world of blogs. I had no idea! I was coming across dozens and dozens, thanks to all of your blogrolls. It was insane. It is insane. It took me about a week to feel sated. I was so amazed at how many crafty moms (and non-moms) there are, and at the quality and quantity of your projects. I visited Etsy shop after Etsy shop, website after website, blog after blog after blog… you get the picture. Everything – from page design, to banner, to craft project, was so pretty and inspired me so much, it hurt. I could only dream to be as talented. Yet I try! So this blog is dedicated to the people who got me into this mess: my husband, and the women who first inspired me, and continue to do so. Thank you!
