New at this

Well, my daughter has been after me for a while to start a blog so today I thought I'd give it a try. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'll figure it out as I go along. I should be studying, but instead....I'm here writing and playing. :)

Today has been a wash for me. It actually started last night. I took another daughter to the doctor and didn't get home until there wasn't much time left to sleep. So today, instead of studying I spent it doing crafty stuff that I could enjoy and grocery shopping. I don't know what it is lately....I just want to play around with crafty stuff and avoid doing the actual school work that is waiting patiently for me to get going on again. But, in the meantime I've been trying to do some new things. I LOVE to learn new stuff. It doesn't matter if it is creative or not, but lately it seems to all have been focused on the creative side. Must have needed a break for my brain, I guess.

Anyway, today I made cute little treat baskets for Valentines day for my sweetie and the kids. I can't wait to fill them and leave notes around the house. I have to work on Valentine's Day....which totally stinks since Valentine's Day and Thanksgiving are my 2 favorite holidays. No matter, they can be celebrated on other days too. :)

I also painted a serving tray and put some pretty paper on the bottom. I think it may look OK. :) I'm not super crafty by nature, so I try and then usually end of a bit disappointed because it didn't turn out the way I had envisioned it in my head. Most often, I think, because I am impatient. I'll work on it.

In any case....If I can figure out how, I'll post some pictures of my recent craftiness and also try to figure out how to make this blog a little prettier too!
