5 years ago to this very day I started this blog!
This post is the 1 605th I've compiled, which averages 321
posts per year, {6 posts a week} For 5 years straight - phew!!
Anyway...Hello again! I thought it would be FUN to
combine a Q & A with a GIVEAWAY! or TWO!!
Starting a blog is like building a house.
Getting the foundations laid is the starting point
for everyone, but it's the actual building of the house which makes
each abode different. Then there's the decorating, & the making
of a house into a home. Creating a place where interesting things
happen, people feel comfortable & visitors feel welcome.
That can take years...
It takes minutes to CREATE a blog but YEARS to actually build one!
When I first came across this poster a few years ago I was
ruffled...Now I can laugh about it because it really is SO TRUE.
As much as we would LOVE to have the whole world be interested
in us as the amazing and individual people we all are, the truth
is,they just don't have the TIME!
If anything...the longer the blog post the more off-putting it is...
So that is my number one piece of advice after 5 years.
KEEP YOUR POST SHORT :-D
So I best be going so as not to seem hypocritical LOL!!
Just sharing my first post here, followed by my first layout
photograph, because life is always better with laughter!!!

My First Day of Blogging
I created this blog myself so am quite impressed, in fact, flabbergasted, that I managed! I thought I would need an IT specialist to set it up for me, so for your information, it can be done WITH EASE. I have tons of stuff I want to load on to my blog as soon as I learn how to do it so WATCH THIS SPACE. I am wanting to interact with like-minded souls and thought this would be one way to start. Most of my days involve creativity in some form or other but today was particularly uneventful in that area as it was filled with chores and paperwork.
I'm finding this whole computer thing very time-consuming as I 'm still unsure of what I'm doing so I've been here for the last 6 hours. I just got e-mail 2 weeks ago...yes...for the first time ever!! Unreal I know, but I have had ALOT going on in my life for years and no time to sit at a computer. SAD i know!! Anyway, all that is about to change and I want to commit to some time everyday to download my thoughts,etc and get into this blogging lark. Will try and add some more photos tomorrow and need to start photographing my layouts to upload. Till then....
Seriously....lolololol!!!
{The quality of the photo is SO BAD I can't enlarge it any more!}
My intention was to have a humungous giveaway today
but alas I haven't had the time to dig through my stash.

photographed a while ago so if you would like to win one:-

2 winners soon afterwards in a Q & A post.
