I've been trying to get to this for a while...
It’s no secret that I love to declutter. Get rid of stuff. Make empty space. Clean and Organize. I usually get to the kids’ stuff around Chanukah time, to make room for the new loot. This year, the kids were excited to help me out. It was their Chanukah vacation (one day), and this is how they spent it.
Anyway, Sam got to keep some of what he wanted, and some was thrown away anyway. I think we gave away more this year than usual, because it seems we have really moved to a whole new stage of life. 24 piece puzzles are not interesting to anyone in this family. Nobody needs the junior version of Scrabble, Mancala, Rummikub. No more games to help you learn to read. No more mini skateboard. We are past all that. We are entirely in the world of middle childhood. That is reflection #1.

To do list...

I just love these scissors so flippin' much!
I've been working on my etsy shop, making it look a bit more pretty and professional. And I wasn't going to post here until I had that finished. So I could say, "Tada! Now everyone, go look at my improved etsy store." But, there I was working on a a logo/banner for the store, and I had to trim a piece of cardstock. An ever so tiny slice. And I thought, there is no way this is going to come out as a clean cut. But these scissors, man! There is nothing they cannot do. It cuts ribbon so cleanly. No fraying or uneven cuts at all. I actually felt such an outpouring of love towards these scissors, I just had to photograph them right away.

I think I am finally ready...

Alright, I am jumping right into the blogosphere. I am not a little bit scared and uncomfortable about this new venture. I've done well for myself in my life by keeping pretty quiet, but I am loving my craft, and if this is what I need to do to continue, than so be it. And, who knows, perhaps it will turn out that I'm a ham at heart. A totally Glatt Kosher Lamehadrin (Ok, maybe not mehadrin) ham. I will beg the world to listen to me, me, me!
Deep breath and jump right in...

But for now, I will gingerly be posting about my card making and scrapbooking projects. Perhaps musing about my artistic journey along the way. Oh, and it has been a journey for me. But I am not quite sure I am ready to talk that much about myself. Yet.
For now, just look at the pictures.
