Let's get it started...

My boys love this song, so I thought it would be an appropriate title for my first post of my new blog!  I am very excited to begin this adventure with y'all.  (Hey I'm southern, y'all comes with the territory, so get used to it!) 
I guess I should start out by explaining what I will be doing on this blog, so I think we will have to travel back in time some 11 to 12 years ago (yikes, I'm getting old) when I got my very first Pottery Barn catalog.  Come on girls, you all know what a special day that was when you first found out about PB! Well, let's just say that I skimmed through it and threw it away - can't afford ANYTHING it that stinking thing- HA!  I memorized it front to back and then decided that, "Hey, I can make this" looking at some distressed picture frames.  So off I went to the Dollar store and bought some picture frames and a can of spray paint. After some drying and a little work with some sandpaper they looked just like the ones in the catalog.  I was just a little bit pleased with myself and received tons of complements on them (still do actually).  This adventure led to me working with floral wire and some glass jars, for flower vases, just like I had seen.  Needless to say from that point on, whenever I see something that I like in a store or even just out and about (Disney World, saw a cute flower hat and some awesome t-shirts people had on) my first thought is....hey, I can make this.
I hope you will enjoy my adventures or misadventures!  Goodness knows there will be plenty, from crafting to cooking, I can't wait to share my experiences with you! 
I hope everyone has a blessed day!
