This is my first entry on my first blog.  The first time I’m sharing my thoughts in an open forum and…it is somewhat intimidating.  I have been thinking about starting a blog for a while.  I follow (unofficially) quite a few blogs and I love reading about a new recipe, or the remake of a classic, the planning of a party and all of the great ideas people have.  I try many of the recipes and various craft ideas I see online – some work out and some not so much.  Sometimes I tweak things a little to make my own and suit my family’s tastes, as we all do 🙂 and sometimes they are so truly perfect the way they are I just sit in bliss and enjoy! 

 I also really like the idea of sharing recipes, ideas, tips, trade “secrets”, all that kind of stuff, with friends.  My friends are always teasing me because whenever they ask me for a recipe, I give them the recipe as I received it and then include all of my little notes on changes, suggestions, cautionary tips…lol.  They say they get 2 recipes from me – the original one and then the one for whatever it is they are eating. 

So, thank you for stopping by and I hope you come back and visit often.  Sometimes I’ll be writing about food, gardening (most likely asking for help and begging the bugs for mercy!), decorations, crafts and maybe trips if I saw or did something I think others might be interested in.
