Welcome!

This is a new endeavor that I thought would be fun! I decided that I would blog about the hobbies I am doing in my life. It will be kind of a journal somewhat of the things I accomplish. I like to think I'm well rounded in the things I like to do, so this is my way of keeping a record of those things and finding out if that's really true! I just LOVE cooking, and I'm an obsessive gardener! I enjoy doing wood crafts and painting! I love scrapbooking but don't make enough time for it so I think this may help me to level out my priorities in the crafting world and get some scrapbooking done! I have so many scrapbooking supplies that it would really be beneficial to use them and make a memory book of my family! I love quilting though I can't say that I've finished very many quilts, but I have started my share of them. I think this will push me to finish those unfinished projects I have as well. I LOVE pictures and photography and although I don't have the equipment I would like to take amazing pictures, I have captured a beautiful sunset or two and I shall share those with you as this blog goes on. I also do spontaneous random crafts that are out of my comfort zone occasionally too and I will struggle through those with whoever is interested in following this blog. I'm excited and feel free to join me anytime here to see what new thing I may be up to. Chances are this blog will not get much action from me, but I hope that is not that case!! ;-)

This ones for you Josilyn! Since you asked me to take pictures of my frame project...

For the last three years, my husband and I have been carting around 2 boxes FULL of frames that we don't use. Just because after we started moving then we never unpacked them and found homes for them. Well I decided rather than throw out all our old frames, that I would spice up our hallways with them all. I make three collages full of frames based on the color of the frame. In reality, my husbands sister inspired me to do this because she has an awesome wall in her dining room that is chuck full of random frames! Anyhow, this project took us months because we had to order pictures and then order more because I'd forgotten some. But before we could even order pictures, we had to go through them all and figure out what sizes we'd need, and what to put in them... etc. etc. Anyways... it doesn't look FANTASTIC, but I think it's a fun change on the bare walls of the hallway. I just love to see all the pictures though regardless of anything else!!!

Oh and I made that random family sign with an old piece of wood that I had stashed with my frames, and some vinyl that was sitting in my drawer!

I'm glad this project is over cuz it was a lot of work. ;-)
