A New Beginning!

Have you ever wondered what it is that attracts so many people to reading blogs? I have no idea how many there are out there but I'm sure that if you tried to read them all you couldn't in a month of Sundays! So what is the facination?
Instead of trying to figure that out I thought that I would start one of my own and see where it leads me. Will I meet new people? Will I ever know how to change the colour of my text never mind add pictures? Only time will give us the answers to these and many other pressing questions. In the meantime one of my reasons for "blogging" is to share my creative side with others. I have been creating cards since we lived in the small town of Three Hills, Alberta back in 1997. At that time Stampin' Up was not in Canada and we were using markers and fabric to decorate our cards. We would adhere fusible webbing on the backs of fabric, cut out the picture that we wanted and iron it onto the cardstock. Add a few lines or squiggles with the markers and voila! A homemade care was created. Many years later I have been introduced to all of the wonderful products that Stampin' Up has to offer and I am excited beyond belief to inspire, create and share them with you. This past year and a half has seen me branch into scrapbooking too so stay tuned for some of that!
This has been a big night for me so I don't think that I will attempt to post pictures yet! (better to just try to post this post!)
Tomorrow we are heading to Burlington to visit my folks and my brother Doug and his wife Wendy. They live out west and we really only see them once a year so this is another big day for me! On Monday, I will check in with y'all and try to get some pictures up.
Until then remember to keep looking up because He never lets you down!
