The Intent to be True...and Share

So, welcome to all of my new readers.  That would be you... yes, you... reading this post.  Prior to signing up for Shimelle's Blogging for Scrapbookers, I only had one reader... on occasion.

As my life is busy (aren't we all), I will keep this introductory post relatively short.  I have chosen to start a blog twice now, and this second time I am struggling.  Hence, the class.  I love to write and create and I truly want this blog to be a place where I can share those pieces of me with people who are interested. I don't have many people in my household/immediate surroundings that enjoy my creative side... and so, I hope to share, gain comrades and learn all through this blog.

I also want to start to feel more free to express myself, both here in Enjoy the Ride Today... and in my scrapbook pages.  I want to not just scrap events, but emotions... and this is why I am a devotee to SFTIO.  Hopefully both sides, the blog and the scrapping, will help me to open fully, and not fear sharing.

In the meantime, I blame this for why I cannot scrapbook more regularly:

Ah, yes... that is my current scrapbook area, and it is this disorganized 90% of the time.  100% of the time I have to remove this fuzz-butt so I can get crafty. 

Recently I resolved the issue with a kitty bed on the bench beside me... but there are times when MissyKitty here must claim ownership of my time, and she knows the best way to do that is to lounge upon the scrappy space.

I can't wait for each day's prompt... I have enjoyed just this first sharing moment. 

Scrap happy all!
