Slow Start and Etiquette

My blog is off to a slow start.  I'm going to blame it on Easter and reading other blogs.  The week before Easter was busy, busy, crazy busy...but not all related to the holiday itself...just stuff added to holiday prep.

Then there is blog reading.  I know I am behind the 8-ball on this blogging stuff - it's been going on for years!  So read, read, read!  That's what I am all about at the moment.  Absorbing ideas, checking out projects and getting a feel for the bloggers etiquette. 

Etiquette, a word that seems to have fallen by the waste side. 

According to Webster's Dictionary Online:

Etiquette:  : the conduct or procedure required by good breeding or prescribed by authority to be observed in social or official life 

So I am compiling a list of blogs that I am already enjoying.  Following both here and on Facebook (if applicable).  Then I will transfer that list here in a blog post.  Certainly that is the right thing to do if I am using these bloggers as examples.

So off to bed I go so I can rest up and begin a new day...


Enjoy!

Busy busy week!

I love weeks like this!  Lots of stuff going on!  Only down side, my brain is so crazy busy that I don't sleep as much. 

Monday was craft night.  This is normally on Tuesdays but like I said - it's a busy week.  Three little girls (sometimes four) gathered around a table working happily!  This is a new thing for us, started in March.  (I will be touching base on this more - later.)

Tuesday is egg night!  Turns out this is going to be 30+ eggs for one little girl!  More to come on that too!

Wednesday - another craft night with a good friend.  We are going to plan and perhaps start a project for the backyard!  A backyard that is in the process of being re-landscaped!  Re-landscaping takes a lot longer than it does on the TV shows.  Especially when it's a DIY project and money is tight.  (oooohhhh another post topic)

Thursday - shipping the lil one off to her fathers.  Yes, this is a project.  Making sure she remembers to take something other than a sundress and rain boots with her.  (Yes, lil one you HAVE to take underwear and socks with you!)  Driving what is normally 50 minutes each way....during rush hour...through Detroit.... ummmm, yeah... This is a 3+ hour event.  Followed by an "Easter Bunny Shopping Trip" and cleaning.

Friday - small dinner party!  Keeping it simple. 

Saturday - I would say would be relaxation day, but I find that highly unlikely. 

Then Sunday.... hunting, laughing, cooking and time with family....

Off to finish decorating eggs!

Creating, Creative....

The first post!  Probably the most difficult one of them all.   Perhaps the easiest.  I'm just not certain. 

But this is all about being creative.  Crafting, home decorating, promoting myself, my small business.  Creating connections. 

Hopefully along the way I can create some friendships.

I will be taking my time working on this blog.  I have way too many ideas in my head.  So I will spend some time making this as creative as possible while not overwhelming myself.

Looking forward to my new endeavor.
