'there is a fine line between hobby and obsession'. unknown
after a week of internet and computer problems, i am back.
it seems i can either scrap, or sleep, or blog. so monday i scrapped till 1h30 in the morning. tuesday i slept. i suppose today i have to blog...
as i have mentioned a million times, there are 3 blogs i visit every day. Annette Scholtz, Donna Downey andWilna Furstenburg. and what i enjoy most about especially donna and wilna, is the personal touch. i love the stories about their days, their thoughts, their creative journeys, and wilna's scriptures. i know more about their lives than i know about my own sisters'. (if my sisters had blogs, i would read theirs every day too)(one of my sisters, carla, who lives faaaaar away in australia, and who i haven't seen in 2 years, reads this blog, and comments. thanx, baby zus. i love you and i miss you!)
although this blog is intended as a cheap imitation of a website for my shop ;), i have decided that as it is my blog, i will be making it a little more personal in future. up until now i have felt that i needed to make it of interest to shop clients, and separate from me, but this has intimidated me a little. and as i feel my clients are my friends, i hope they will forgive me for rambling a little. and if they don't, then they don't come back. easy! so decision no 1 is to blog about my life. in general. as my shop and scrapbooking is a huge part of my life, they will feature constantly.
i have felt that every time i blog, i need to add a picture, preferably of a page layout.. but these take ages to load, and some times i only have a few minutes. so decision no 2 is to sometimes have posts without pics.
i type with 2 fingers. this can be slow. so, to make it a little faster, decision no 3 is that i am going to use all lower case letters. my english teacher, my mother and liza will shudder at the incorrectness, but, once again, i refer to decision no 1. at least i am not using sms abbreviations, but hey, maybe that could be decision no 4 in a while.
i want to show you one of my favorite items in my tool bag. it may look like an ordinary pen, but to me it is a special pen! i got it 2 years ago at the scrapbook convention in donna's class.
