A Quick Note

One of the people who reads these ramblings (I don't make him read it.) and checks my cyber skills asked me why I post just the amateurish craft projects I've done ... and why I post the old ones. (And this is a friend?) He knows the answer but I guess a little repetition won't hurt.

This blog has a number of purposes, so let me count some ways. It serves as a feet-wetting experience verifying the ability to think it, do it, and make it part of a routine. And that's a good thing, as Martha Stewart would say, for someone who kind of falls down when it comes to true discipline. (Hmmm, perhaps this is the diary and writer's journal I never kept.)

Also, I figured, if I do this, I can convince my sister to give it a try. She's the one with real talent in the family. While she insists she's electronically unskilled, I know better. (Check out her blog: http://pennaphotos.blogspot.com/ ... you'll see.)

And, I wanted to contribute just a little bit of positive (I'm using that as a noun here, even though I know better) to the world. Take out the paper and the trash, yes, but instead of letting it sit somewhere trying desperately to decompose waiting for your grandchildren to deal with, reuse as much of it as you can. Repurpose (Is that a word? Spell check doesn't like it.) it So what if your friends (You know who I mean.) think you're missing a few important brain cells. Do it anyway!

See, good stuff all, don't you think? Light, positive, fun, whimsical, and never, never too serious.
