I came upon the world of blogs thru Flickr...I love to see other people's art, crafts, photography,life, and by connecting to all of them I stumbled upon their blogs...and started reading...I knew at that point that one was in the future for me. But I put it off for a long time because I did not know exactly what it would be that I would say. I knew I had to give myself some time to sort out what I wanted to do, and knew that the moment would come when I would know that I was ready with a better understanding of what I wanted my blog to be...I am still learning, I am still sorting things out somewhere in the back of my head. After christmas last year, I made it a new years resolution to find a host and start!
I have always been the kind to do things prepared, but there is also a side of me that enjoys jumping into the unknown...I just didn't know that I could apply that carefree mentality to this whole idea of journaling...My awsome husband has always tried to tell me just that throughout the years, but I never got the message, I don't know, maybe I wasn't ready...I love the title of my first post because it says exactly what I am doing.So, here I am, still trying to figure things out, not knowing what will become of this small space, or what it will reflect. What do I talk about? I know that whatever it is, it will be from my heart, there's no other way.
Will I look back years from now and say 'Oh my God, I can't believe I wrote that!' How much or how little of who I am, am I willing to let go of, to put out there for others to possibly see? Why do I even have a blog? is it because it will be a record of my Life, where I was or what I was doing at a certain point in time? A look back at how my crafty saga begun? I know the answer to all these questions. Does it matter if anyone reads it? don't know, I think we all like know that there are others who share the same interests... Is it really for myself?
somewhere deep inside of me...yes, because I think it's a snapshot of not one piece of my life, but many...all put together in one place, for me, and for others to see. I am thrilled to enter this new medium, I have learned so much. Reading everyone else's blogs have given me new experiences in blogging already. Over the past few days I have learned about a very intersting subject...blog etiquette. I found some great tips in the pages of the Artful Blogging magazine, which I recomend to everyone! They explain some Do's and Don'ts, and also give you good tips about photography, and places to blog. Can't wait to see what this journey is like a year from now!
