Well Internet, I’m here now! Be afraid, very, very afraid…

Then I thought, I like to talk.  I mean really talk.  Anyone who knows me knows I can’t say anything without being windy.  Summarize something, yeah, not me.  I don’t know what that even means.  Twitter, 140 characters or less?!?  Are they trying to kill me?  So, where could I use bad grammar with run-on sentences and no one could stop me?  My own blog!  Hallelujah!  I think I have found my calling.

I also have to give a shout-out to my son’s friend, Nathan for coming up with the name and letting me use it.  I thought it would be nice to send people at my church homemade cards for birthday, anniversaries, get well, etc.  He told me about his ministry at school with a friend named The Happy Card Encouragement Factory.  I loved the name and asked him if I could use it for my blog as I am terrible with being creative on my own.  Thank you again, Nathan!  As you will see as time goes on, I am a very heavy scrap-lifter.  Maybe because I see so many wonderful projects my brain tells me I don’t have to come up with my own. Well, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

I think this blog is going to be a little of everything.  I love to work with my hands, be it with paper crafting or building my next computer.  I just like to tinker, put things together.  Maybe I could make a computer out of paper like they do dollhouses.  LOL Now that would be the slowest computer on the planet but it would look good ;D

I have gone on long enough, the kids are getting hungry. I guess I will end with something my new friend Jin recently told me: “What you want to do with your blog is really up to you. Some people like to dedicate their blog to just crafts while others like to use it as a journal and post about everything that they do or experience. A new blog is a new canvas. Feel free to paint whatever you want there. It’s all YOURS. :)”  Great advice, I think I’ll follow it………….
