i blog, therefore i am


I wanted to create a page designed around my blog for quite sometime now but I didn't have supplies in exactly what I needed so I improvised.

I started by covering the brads in glue then dipping them into some Martha Stewart flock to match. I can't stop petting them heehee. I also hand cut the two strips for the ornate looking thing on the sides, it's from the Making Memories Sabrina line I've been hoarding.
I adore things handmade so I wanted to keep that on my layout because it is something that I believe in whole heartedly. I love supporting the SAHM's and will continue to do so til the end of my days ;0)
I found a picture of a Memorex tape online and printed it out and used an American Crafts Slick Writers to make it look like the one over there ==>

For the longest time I have wondered, is it really worth it?
While I sit on the comfort of my bed, or desk searching for the right words or something to fill the in-between posts, I have thought about letting the blogging life go. I mean it can be a lot of work at times, and I am trying to simplify things. But then I look back through all the past posts, those pesky quitter thoughts vanish into the gaping void which is my brain and I remember why I do it.
Because I love it!

It is absolutely worth it Jenn. Someday Maribel will see and appreciate all the journaling. I also love to come visit your site.

When I saw your page which I love, I actually thought it was a picture of your blog. I should have known you would get all creative and even find a picture of a memorex tape. Gosh, my tapes usually housed slow sappy songs..okay enough reminiscing for me. lol!
