time to be crafty!

a month or so ago I started following a site called http://creatingthecraftylife.com. I found it to be filled with wonderful people that have all sorts of levels in crafts of many types! I'm certainly looking forward to expanding my knowlege in the craft world with the inspiration from some sweet people :) what a way to start off the new year!

hmmmm

I really thought about coming back and doing this again, and maybe I will. this has been strange tho, to say the least. it's been over a year since I last did this and after reading an article in forbes, I decided what the hell. Well, then I had a horrible time trying to get my password back.

who knows how long it'll be before I decide to come back again. soon? not so sure about that! :)

woo hoo!

I think I finally got the hang of this, or at least the basics for now. it really shouldn't be so bad.. and I think I just might enjoy it :)

an orchid can say so much..

ok, I give..

I can't get the thing to show up, so it's staying as is for now. maybe I need to go change all the little settings? I will check on that really quick before I head out. this is getting to be a pain! I hope it's all back to how it should be in the morning. all newbies have it so bad or am I just really slow at it? I think it's time not to blog..

oh, and before I forget, congrats to all you Detroit Piston fans! even though I don't care for basketball, I wish the city of Detroit my best on this evening. I was going to make some crude remarks about how we've celebrated in this area before, but I think I'll keep them to myself for now.. this damn thing just might actually post lol

take care!

unbelievable!

well, well.. here I finally am. actually, I never thought I'd be able to post one of these blogs. every time I tried to log in, I kept getting a message. after changing some info and getting a new account, I finally get to post. I'm not touching a single thing in the settings till they get this fixed. I love messing with stuff for the first time, seeing how each thing works.. but to be honest, I won't be testing out all the chit in here for a long time and only cause I don't know enough to do so. but I'll learn, sooner or later!

after messing around on the internet late last night, I came across a few postings by "bloggers" and started reading. some were pretty interesting. this is all a new world to me, and I'm sure many out there! I wonder how well it'll catch on. time will tell :)

take care!
