It's a Brand New Day!!!

Bright and beautiful morning everyone! Thank you for coming to see me at my new blog! I'm hoping to keep my posts fairly short at this new blog, but this one might be a little longer so that I can explain to where everything is.  I'm still adding links of other blogs and companies. I hope to have several more added after I make this post, but I will likely still be adding some when I go public.  Not to mention of course new inspiring blogs I find.  First I'd like to give a HUGE thank you to Shabby Blogs for providing the gorgeous background that I found.  I did have to upload it to my own image server to get it to work right size wise for the layout style I went with, and I still couldn't get all of it to show. There's a whimsical tea party table somewhere down below where the screen ends.  But that's ok, because I just love, love, LOVE the serene, dreamlike quality of the background she created.  I created my header, grab button, and other images with the help of various free digital scrapbook design packs I've collected over the years.  So I would also like to give a thank you to those freebie digital designers out there who allow us to use their stuff in our many and varied creations.  Thank you all loads of faerie dust!!!

In an effort to keep my blog less crowded, with the exception of friend's blogs and blogs I really want to make sure I stay up-to-date on, I will be placing all the cool inspiring blogs I find enjoyable and informative on the "page" linked in the upper left hand corner titled "links".  I actually created an identical blog to this one for that page so that the format could be slightly different. And also, so that I could  keep an ongoing "blog" of posts of people that I'll be calling "Curiously Creative".  This is a recognition that I'm going to be giving out to both bloggers and YouTubers who catch my eye and ignite a fire to create inside of me.  I figure if they do it to me, they just might do it to you as well.  I'm also use this "page" as a place to share great tutorials I come across until I get my Tutorials page and running.  Then I will post my tutorials as well as point out great and informative ones from others because I know many of you guys love to learn as much as I do.

You'll also see a "Reviews" page on the list.  I've done this one the same way as my "Links" page.  This way you guys will have a full menu of nothing but product and company reviews.  I'm going to be reviewing old and new products, as well as companies that I purchase items from because we all know there's some amazing ones out there, and some who are really lacking in customer service.  This is the page where you will also find links to various Manufacturers and Company blogs as well arts and crafts suppliers websites.  Just like on my "Links" page, this is for me as well. I love having everything at my fingertips and this is great way to backup all of my links.  Since I'm very much a mixed media, crazy dabbling, will try anything once kind of artist, you'll find all sorts of companies on these lists.

I might even end up adding another "Page" for my writing, but that's all going to depend upon if I find myself in the mood to be writing as well as having the time to get around to adding that page. I really want to get the rest of this and the tutorials page up and running first.  So as you as you can see, just like my last blog this will still be a little experimental in trying to figure out where I'm going with it, but I have a really good idea so hopefully I won't get too off track.  I'll make sure and post any of the entries going on the other pages on this one as well so that you know they've went up so that you don't have to follow or check up on all of them, unless you want to of course.

I hope you guys are as excited about the creative potential of this year, as I am.  I know that I can't wait to see what dreamy concoctions ya'll showcase for all of our viewing pleasure.

Faith, trust, and faerie dust!!
