I am very new to blogging and I will be developing this blog as I learn more. I started the blog because I love spending my downtime doing creative things, whether it be scrapbooking, card making, digital art, mixed media art, decorating, or just creating a fantastic meal or a wonderful garden. Having worked in a business environment all my adult life, I never thought of myself as artistic or creative. I still wouldn't go as far as saying I am artistic (I leave that to my wonderfully talented artist friends) but I am now very comfortable describing myself as "creative". I hope to pass on some of the techniques I've learned and I would be very happy if it encourages even one person to pursue their creative instincts. :)
