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....

Journaling & short stories

I was writing in my Journal and thought it would be nice to share the pages that I have to kinda lead my thinking. It isn't always easy to write things down without a little help getting going. In order to see this clearly or even copy it you will need to click on the forms. Happy New Year! "Life is an Adventure.
It's not the destination we reach that's most rewarding. It's the Journey along the way. So write it down! & Treasure the momory forever.

Happy New Year 2008

My evening was spent with a nice dinner at home...and falling asleep before the big ball fell. Although this picture looks like fun...it is a fantasy! We went to a Matinee and saw the new National Treasure movie...very good. Tonight we are going to my daughter Jenny's for dinner. Doug and Jenny have done a prime rib dinner for Doug's parents and us...we are looking forward to a nice evening. Happy New Year to you and yours...make this the best year ever.
Love, Mary
