1st Blog Ever!!

So here it is, my 1st blog ever, and you are reading it! Aren't you the lucky one? I have had this set up for about a month now, and never got around to adding pictures or saying anything. It is amazing that when you have a goal for something you get more motivated. Let me explain....

I am an active member of the Let's Scrap website http://letsscrap.ning.com/  but I just joined last month. It was a great time to join because May was National Scrapbooking Month WOOT!! They had lots of NSD challenges posted along with their regular sketches and Design Team challenges. So, I got a lot of pages done last month :) Anyway, how this all connects is that they have just posted a sketch that you can do and submit as part of application for August thru November design team for the site. I would like to "go for it" if you will and along with their sketch they said to link to your blog so they can see your other work. VOILA I am now getting my blog going! I may or may not get the design team position, but either way it was good motivation to get my butt movin!

I am hoping to post pics of my craft room and show tips on how I store some of my things as I progress with my blog. I would like to also challenge myself to try 1 new recipe each month (maybe week) from the 1950 Betty Crocker cookbook. Lot's of high hopes and expectations for myself, but I think I can do it!

That's all for today, as I spent forever loading my wedding album pages and captioning them today, but I promise I will progess much faster now that I have the jump start.
Cheers and good night!

  1. Congrats, Mindi. I am so happy that you just went and "did it." You have made such a contribution in so short a time at Let's Scrap that if I didn't know better, I would guess you had been around for a long time! It's often hard to be the NKOTB, but you fit right in!! Stepping out in your new blog dress is a good thing, regardless of the motivation! I am proud to be a "follower."
