We're already into 2009! One goal for this year is to redo my BLOG! I would like to construct it to be a more effective resourceful BLOG. Please be patient as revamping my BLOG will take a few weeks or possibly months! My plans are to use my BLOG as a Craft, Scrapbook, and Home-based business resource where others with these same interests will be able to post, find answers, and follow links

Breast Cancer Awareness Month has arrive. If you or anyone you know has any questions or concerns about breast cancer, the following sites have a variety of information to help one educate themselves and understand the symptoms, available treatments, and coping skills needed to live with this disease. Some have discussion boards, chartrooms and experts to help you through this

I found this article based on a journalistic approach to blogging. It is basically making a monthly journalistic plan about what I will write about before my "blogging" day actually arrives. That way, if I know what I'm going to write about before hand, first of all, I can brainstorm and possibly deliver a more informative and interesting blogging experience for you. Secondly, if I happen to

I am going to revamp my BlogSpot and would like to invite any suggestions related to the Crafts, Scrapbooking or business sectors. What are people interested in reading about? What constitutes a good Blog? What do you look for when searching blogs? What do you like to see in Blogs? Any suggestion would be helpful as long as it doesn't consist of any pornographic, violent, or sexual content.

Crafting is a great way to express your personal creativeness! It can be making something as basic as a card or something a more elaborate as a landscape painting. It can consist of hand sewing or machine stitching. It may involve making a fort out of pop cycle sticks or whittling a ship out of wood. Whatever crafting project one may do, each craft genera has its own perks and downfalls. Each can

These past few days we have been having summer whether! It's time for school to begin, and the leaves are beginning to change and the temperature is in the 80's. Oh well...maybe we'll finally get some halfway decent weather for a few weeks. Possibly enough nice days to get the fall tasks done before winter hits. I have learned that Mother Nature is going to do what she wants, so I am planning

Rainy days are good, at least for me. It gives me time to do all the tedious tasks that come from running a business. Usually when it rains, I sew, do paperwork, and practice my paint strokes--all important for the crafting business. I haven't been able to use the computer much when it rains due to the heavy rainfall and winds. The power flickers all the time, so I shut the computer down to

Life is like Mother Nature. I never know what the day will bring until that day is over. Then as I reflect upon my accomplishments and discouragements of the day, I realize I did the best I could with what I had. I've learned no matter how well I plan my day, or how hard I try to make my plans work, most times I never get everything I planned completed. Life has a way of throwing things at me

Sometimes it seems as if time just slips by. This summer has gone by so fast, probably because all it has done is rain. Mother Nature's liking all the rain though. There seems to be massive amounts of fruit bursting off the branches. I have never had blackberries before, and this year the berry bushes are just loaded with green berries. I can't wait until they are riped.Granted, having the

July seems to mark the middle of summer for me. It seems as if summer is almost over and it hasn't really began. Gas prices seem to go up during July 4th weekend, and now they are back down below $4.00--what's up with that? We're not doing much this summer because of gas prices, but that's ok. It'll give me more time to brush up on my painting skill! I have heard that gas prices are effecting

Summer is the time of year where most go on vacations. I don't know about other parts of the world, but in northern New England, it has been a cold rainy summer so far. It seems to me our seasons are changing. Well, not the seasons per say, but when the seasonal weather actually begins and the duration of each. I don't know, maybe its just me. It just seems as if the seasons are being pushed

Summer has finally began. Kids are getting out of school for the summer. People are probably planning summer vacations--or are they? Can people still afford to go on vacations with the gas prices so high? It seems to me there should be some sort of solution to the rising gas price issue. Do we really need to pay so much for gas? Who is benefiting from the high gas prices? No me!By paying so

I love to craft--to create--to manipulate my ideas into original pieces of art. Expressions of myself crafted with limitless possibilities. There is always a means to an end, but, sometimes there are days in which it seems impossible for me just to get started with the creative process! I have the ideas, the supplies, even my hand-drawn visual aids: it just seems that some days my creative

They say April Showers bring May flowers...and that expression is correct so far for 2008! The blooms this year are beautiful and plentiful. Take notice of the spring colors when rearranging, reorganizing or redecorating your home. Using natures colors in your home is a good way to bring a little bit of nature to your personal life and an excellent way to balance your interior colors! Have

Mother's Day was yesterday...I hope everyone had a good one! I had a good Mother's Day...bought some plants and was given some plants. Now I need to get them in the ground! Yesterday was also a challenging emotional day for me. I recently lost my mother on Valentines day of 2008...so it was very unusual not being able to buy my mother plants or flowers. I would advise anyone who still has

I have sooooo many pictures! Some are saved in albums. Some in scrapbooks. Some are on my hard drive; others in archival safe photo boxes; and others are burned on Cd's. The question isn't how to save them but what to do with them after I save them. I have decided that many of the pictures will be added to scrapbooks, or will be beginnings to new scrapbooks. The way I look at it, history is

May is National Scrapbook month. Scrapbooks have become popular again. Traditionally, were used much like storytelling, but its focus was on the visual and tactile sensorial modes rather than the oral mode. Now, it seems scrapbooks and scrapbooking lean more toward the symbolic meaning of preserving historical and family photos.I like scrapbooks and scrapbooking and the meaning behind what they
