This post today is an explaination of sorts on why I chose to blog.  I have been lucky enough to sign up for an online class given by Jessica Sprague called “Stories In Hand”.  With the tools she has developed and so generously shared with us free of charge, we have been able to take an incredible journey into our memories with the “sparks” she has provided.  I have to tell you this is the first online class I have ever taken and so far I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.  The board is jumpin’, my fellow students kind and generous in sharing their stories and any hints for those of us “techno newbies”, and the prompts or “sparks” are taking me places I had forgotten about.

I don’t mind writing and am not really good at it (grammar police stay away), but I love the process and have wanted my scrapbook pages to reveal more than “we went to the party and had a good time.  The cake was chocolate.”  I wanted my viewer to experience the richness of the chocolate on the tongue, the velvety smoothness of the icing and the lightness of the cake.  I just needed a system to get it out and on paper.

So dear reader, stay with me as I learn how to do this blog thing.  I will be adding content and dealing with scrapbooking, writing, books, design and especially interior design, other blogs that I love, couponing, saving money (man that is so hard to type in the same paragraph as scrapbooking) and any other topic that tweaks my fancy.  I am fascinated with everything and love learning lots of new things, hence the blog, so come back and visit and see where this ride has taken me.
