beginnings

For those of you that come across this blog in the next month or so please know that this is a work in progress.  Tonight my goal was to actually get the "bones" of a blog put together and then as I have more time (yeah right!) I will hopefully customize it and make it pretty.  I am still learning and really have no idea what I am doing.  This is evident in the fact that this is the 2nd time I have written this post.  I was trying to add a picture and couldn't make it do what I wanted and ended up deleting the whole thing.

This blog for me is the realization of a thought I have had for a while.  A thought that has been kind of nagging at me for a while.  I hope this becomes a place for me to better keep up with family far away, a place to document my creative endeavors, a place to document life as it happens and a place for me to be me.

Here's to thoughts and the COURAGE to make them real.

I am taking the One Little Word  class by Ali Edwards with Big Picture Scrapbooking and this is my cover page.

This is the assignment for January.  A self-portrait and cards in a divided page protector.  5 of the cards had a specific purpose and then the other 4 were left up to us.  It is still a  work in progress (I guess that is a theme with me right now) but it is coming together and I feel it will be done soon.
