Well here I am, out there on the middle of my stage - completely unprepared and "choking" for want of a better word! I've been meaning to do this blogging thing for such a long time - actually really since last September when I was asked if I would be interested in doing a Blog Hop with Sparkle N Sprinkle, whose design team I am part of, and Spellbinders. Needless to say, back then my SNS mentor Donna Ellis said - "Oh don't worry, we'll just put it on the SNS blog!! Great I thought, I can hide behind the curtains - problem solved, or so I thought!
There have been several blogs on Sparkle N Sprinkle since then, none of which have I participated in because of my inability to get up and speak in front of a crowd!! I never was a "real" stage parent!
Then Hogmanay came around and the little prompter inside my head went off. "You can do this" - so my New Year's Resolution was put into place. In 2011, I would become a Blogger! So here I am, trying to get this up and running before the next official Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog Hop on March 24th, which of course I'll be expecting you to join. I just want to thank all the team at Sparkle N sprinkle for their encouragement and gentle shoving to get me onto the middle of my very own stage. So I guess I'd better get on with my rehearsals! Here's to Opening Night and hopefully I won't break a leg!
Congratulations, Shona! I never doubted you for a moment. Beauty and Wonder are always the result of your magical fingers, so your blogging will be just the same! Here's to a great year of reading your blog. I'm proud to be your first follower! xoxo
