A new beginning....

My life has always consisted of normal things, such as caring for a family, home and going to work to provide for my both.  My family has always come first and will continue to be that way.  However, I never thought that I would have time for a hobby and therefore never really looked for one.  Until one day my dear friend Michelle showed me the beauty of scrapbooking and that was the beginning of a new part in my life. I began to buy stickers and papers, gather pictures and explore different tools.  I searched the internet for techniques and methods to paper crafting.  I poked around youtube for different videos on tools and before I knew it, I had a room full of paper crafting supplies (my favorite tool, the cricut expression and soon to upgrade imagine!!).  At that point it was not only about scrapbooking.  It then became card making and any other projects that involved paper, glitter and glue!  Crafting and blogging have become my way of making new friends, learning new things and just relaxing by looking at others' projects.  Because of this, I've decided to start my own blog to share with others not only what we have in common, but the crazy little things that happen in my life with my husband and three kids. I hope that I'm able to contribute to the blogging world and make new friends along the way.  This is my hobby, my escape and I love it!! 

For my first posting is a christmas card that I've made. I used the winter frolic cartridge, swirls embossing folder and pink by design stamp.  I hope you enjoy it!
