Long time crafter first time blogger..

Many might think that 55 is too old to begin a blog...however, I am pretty excited to give this a go! I have been doing many creative artsy things during my lifetime and with social media the way it is today, I love the idea of reaching a larger audience. 

I am sure that most of my audience will at first consist of my many family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances who already know and share in my love all things arts and crafts. I do hope however to meet other crafters and artisans from all over the country ( or world). 

I love following other artists on Pinterest and You Tube and find myself watching more You Tube videos these days than TV. 

So, a little about myself...I am a mother to a 25 yr old son who is married and has given me a beautiful energetic 4 yr old Granddaughter. She keeps me on my toes and is the light of my life! She loves crafting and painting so this Grandma sees to it she gets lots of experience dabbling in lots of creative media. 

I am the oldest child of 6 kids...I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers. We all live close to each other. My Father passed away 16 yrs ago due complications of lung cancer and a day doesn't go by that do not miss home! 

My Mom is in a local nursing home for Alzheimer's and thankfully I can visit her as often as I am able. She is in late stages however still recognizes us although may not recall our name...which is ok...she still knows I am her daughter..so that is just fine by me! 

I will end things here for my first blog...hopefully I will be posting often and also photos as soon as I figure out how this works!
