A long overdue post...

Obviously, I've been very lazy about updating my blog. I have a lot to post, but after classes and work I don't always have the motivation. Hopefully that's going to change soon. I have a lot of different things I'm testing out.

One thing that I tried out yesterday was Inkscape. It's like Adobe Illustrator, but free! I've been very interested in graphic design and decided to try my hand at it. With all the tutorials out there, I was able to create my first object in Inkscape...

A bowling pin! Random, but it looked like fun when I was browsing through the tutorials on YouTube. Here's the link to the tutorial in case you want to test it out. With the step-by-step instructions and video, it wasn't difficult at all.

I did test out a few other things and now I am going to try out my own designs. It will probably take me a while to get the hang of it, but I am willing to try. I really want to redesign my blog with my own template and designs. Maybe that will get me more interested in blogging again.

Anyway, I have a creative project going planned with these paper lanterns I found at Michael's... I want to post it on my blog so hopefully I get it done soon.

This is my free week between semesters. I still have to work full time, but I hope that with all the free hours available this week I get more done than just playing on Inkscape and cleaning... we'll see.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year! And welcome to my new blog!

How did everyone ring in the new year? I spent it here:

It was packed with people, but it was fun. I don't normally celebrate the new year like that, but it was a nice change of pace.

I'm still finalizing everything, but this is going to be my new creative space. Last year, although I created many different things and tried many new crafts, I didn't blog a lot. I hope to change that this year.

I'm trying to add some diversity to my blog. Mostly, I focused on scrapbooking, but now I want to feature all sorts of things that I happen to create or just love.

If everything goes as planned, I will be posting at least once a week.

We'll see if that works out!

Thanks for stopping by my new blog and I hope to see you again soon.
