Happy Blog Day to Me!

How I found you! I had signed up for Blogger to write little stories and more or less a journal....but didn't do anything with it. I really had no idea how to start? I have always been a crafter, and I am always looking for something new. I had gone to Boise for the day, shopping for a gift for my daughter Jenny. I love Barns and Noble Bookstore, so I had to stop in and take a peek at all the goodies and that La ti. I found myself looking at Magazines. Found this one with all kinds of paper art, stamping which I have done for years, and it just drew me in and I bought it. I loved the pictures of collages and layered graphic...it was really interesting. In the back of the book it shared that there were people blogging ATC's and I had seen a number of them in this Magazine...with that in mind I went back to the site I had made about 6 months before. I had tried making a ATC or two and thought I would put them on. They weren't very good, but it was all I really had to offer. My first visitor to leave a comment was Our Janet...It was very special for me. I was hooked! Thank You Janet and all of you who have taken time to visit my site. It is a thrill every time I find that you have come to visit. It has been one year now and I continue to search for whatever talents I may have....not a lot of luck...but I keep trying. I love looking at all the special things that all of you do, it is the topping on my day.....My blog Birthday wish is...that we continue to find each other and share. Big Hugs, Mary This was what we woke up to this morning...I took this from my front door.
It is a snow day here in the Treasure Valley....the kids are happy. I can see them playing from my window. I am going shopping again for my daughters Birthday today, another year passed with love....

Happy Happy Happy Blog Birthday!! I'm very glad you picked up that magazine because it lead you here to Blogland and it wouldn't be the same without you. I always enjoy your blog, and I think your drawings are great. Don't be so hard on yourself! Good luck with your shopping and Happy Birthday to your daughter, too.

Happy Blog Birthday!!! So glad you stopped by. I wish we had that snow, instead we are getting bad storms and maybe tornadoes by this afternoon. They are talking some snow by sunday but our weather is always crazy here. Talk to you soon and enjoy that snow!

Happy Blog Birthday to you! Yahoo - I agree, you meet the best people!

And Happy Snow Day! We got hammered in the Ogden area yesterday - some areas up to 2 feet! We had about 10" at our home out in the valley.

Smiles, Cat

about the snow once in awhile and how pretty it is, then I wake up and thank God I live in Fl.
