hello. {welcome friends}

hello.

welcome friends...welcome family...welcome to all...

i've been "busted"..."found out"...

{insert a special "shout out" to mrs. jessica k.}

maybe it was through having something pinned on Pinterest...or a linked up post on Tip Junkie...or Facebook...who knows...but my blog is no longer a secret unknown to those who know me best.

so, this post is mostly for you...for the ones who "found out"...{a little explanation}

*first, a special note* i fully expect you to leave a comment {only nice ones please}, and ask you please to start following me...there's a nice little "follow" button to the right...yup the right of your screen...see it?  click on it...choose to follow me {my blog}...i'd really appreciate it! plus, it would just be awesome to know who has been here {to put a name to the stat counter, if you will}.

so...grab a coffee {or your favorite drink}...

put on your readers {if necessary}...

belly up to your computer, laptop, iphone, ipad {whatever you have}...

and here we go...

when i started blogging a short while ago, i was nervous. i don't know why?  i considered blogging and wanted to start a blog a long while ago...well over a year and a half ago.  i just put it off, and put it off.

finally, one day i decided to "go for it".

i chose not to tell everyone about it {right away}, except my hubby, because i was a bit shy...i'm still not sharing it with everyone quite yet.  i didn't want to be judged {in a bad way} or criticized.  plus, i didn't know if it would last or something that i would really get into.

a couple of months later...it's going steady, and it's going really well.  i'm really enjoying it and having a great time doing it!  and, it has "stuck", or i've stuck to it.

i've enjoyed blogging about sewing, crafts, a bit of decorating, cooking and baking {oh who am i kidding...you know i don't cook and bake!}, and just a tad about being a mom, and "life".

now that i have some content and want to keep it up, i'm happy to share it with you all, but i thought i would wait until i got my custom blog design {which i am super impatient excited for!!!}.

you just found me first!

so welcome to you!  i hope you'll stick around {don't forget to leave a comment and follow along}.

thanks for visiting! hugs!
