About my blog...why do I do it??

When I decided to start a blog of my own I didn't exactly know what I'd post on it. Would it be a craft blog? Family blog?Recipe?Music? Books? Then I just got to posting .I joined some meme's , posted photos of my crafts and family.I posted thoughs and quotes.So it's been very random  it's become a blog about all those things that make up my peaceful and chaotic life and I'm very happy with that .I had contemplated making a blog for my crafts only but then decided I'd like to do it all in one place  and here it is. In the beginning  I worried that it would not be good enough ,creative enough or pretty enough.I felt bad about not posting everyday.But then I realized , blogging is not about posting everyday or having the prettiest posts. It's about posting when I have something to share ,to say or show... When the inspiration strikes me.
It's for me..to express myself. It's something to look back on in a couple of years and chuckle about.Something to share with my family.Maybe print out as well and leave to my kids someday. =) A sort of ...memory book.

So if you're reading this and you are doing so because you are part of the latest blog swap on http://www.swap-bot.com/ ...welcome!
I hope this won't be your last visit.I like having followers because I love feed back ,ideas and comments. I have been inspired by so many other wonderful bloggers out there and that is one reason I join the blog swaps done via swap-bot. To share my very random,perhaps chaotic, not very organized blog and to meet other bloggers and learn from them and perhaps make a new friend as well.

Please leave me a link to your blog and I will visit it and probably follow it too...and I will drop in from time to time and wave hello. Blogging is fun and for me that's what it's all about!
Now to share a little about my weekend!
Yesterday we went bowling!it was very fun.None of us are good at it but that didn't stop us!






What a fun Saturday!

    Thanks so much for the welcome. :o) I have so enjoyed perusing your blog. I think your blog "voice" is wonderful and including everything, all inclusive of your life makes for an even more interesting read.
    I struggle too with my weight and balancing sugar, I think your idea of fresh raw foods is a great one. I've found I feel my best on a combo of high amounts of vegetables and medium amounts of protein and nearly no carbs. For me it doesn't seem to matter where sugar comes from, fruit, the sugar bowl or a piece of bread, it's all sugar to me. Grrr. lol. When I'm good though i feel so darn healthy and weight plummets off with nearly no effort.
    I wish you luck and hope you also stop by and say hi. I'll be back to read about what you're up to as this has been such an enjoyable visit to your blog. So nice to meet you.
    I will be including your blog into a blog post that has links to all my partners in the blog follower swap on swap bot. I'm Jaemac btw, from swapbot and I'm a new happy follower of your very cool blog.
    Best,
    Jenn

    I've got two blogs, one for food, one for craft - and now I'm not sure where to put the 'general posts'. I may stick them both together, I'm just not sure - maybe I need a 'general' blog too! Ah... too many blogs!

    I've found you through the swaps, and I'll be writing a post with links later today. My blog is at http://crafty-carrie.blogspot.com

“Roses and thorns are parts of the same plant. Somehow though, some people are concerned mainly about the roses. The rose is not on the plant for more than a week, but the thorns are there forever. Roses are teaching that the beauty of life will bloom, once you have taught yourself the lessons given by living with the thorns.”  ―  Grigoris Deoudis This post is part of the  Nature Footstep meme.  A meme all about flowers and macro shots.

Artist of the Week :Frida Kahlo

Happy Sunday! I decided to start an "Artist of the Week " post to do on Sundays!It's a good way to learn more about the  different styles of each artist. This week in keeping with my Mexico theme, I will feature the  fabulous    Frida Kahlo : Frida was born on  July 6th, 1907 in Coyoacan, Mexico to a Hungarian-Jewish father a nd a mother of Spanish and Mexican Indian descent. She was one of four daughters. Frida did not plan to become an artist .She had been studying Medicine at the " Escuela Nacional Preparatoria" in Mexico City. Out of 2000 students, Frida was one of only 35 women accepted into the prestigious institution. However in 1925  at the age she was severely injured in a bus accident in  which she suffers fractures to her spine, collarbone and ribs, a shattered pelvis, and shoulder and foot injuries. While she is bed-ridden and encased in a body cast   Frida began to paint lying in bed with a special easel r...
