First post!

Woo hoo!  My very first post on my new....all ME blog!  Can't tell you how excited I am to be starting this blog.  I've been thinking about it for a couple weeks now....what will it look like, what will I write about, who will actually read it....?  So here it is.  What do you think?  (I'm not crazy about the background, so may change that).

I currently keep up our family blog, but use it as more of a baby book to record milestones and memories.  Lately, I've been craving my own outlet.  A place to say what's on my mind, to think out loud.  A place to share crafty goodness and a place to call my own.

SO, who am I?  I'm a mother, a wife, a woman, a sister, a daughter, and a friend and deep down I'm "a free spirit with a creative soul."  I love being creative!  I always have.  Even as a kid, art was always my favorite subject.  As an adult I find it harder to make time for creative adventures, so this is my attempt to do so!  My plan is to share a craft project and tutorial on a weekly basis, along with sharing my thoughts, ideas and maybe even some recipes.  That's the plan, as of now, but with two kids I realize life may get in the way.

My family and I have just uprooted ourselves and moved from Missouri to Alabama so my husband can pursue his dream job.  We have two kids.  Elliot, who just turned 2 and Harper who is barely over three months.  They are amazing children, which I'm sure you'll hear all about every now and then on here.  Though I know we made the right decision for our family, we are ten hours away from family and know no one here.  Good thing I'm an extrovert!

Feel free to follow me on this adventure and maybe pick up a couple crafty ideas or two.  Celebrate with a craft night (oh, how I miss craft nights) or a yummy recipe for friends.  As always, thanks for reading!
