I don't want to bribe people to follow my blog. You either like what you see here, or you don't. I can't (and won't) promise to blog to try to keep anyone entertained. Plus, I'm just not that entertaining.
What I do, is get a little inky every now and again. When my health cooperates, when I have the energy and when I just plain old feel like it. I have learned a LOT since I first started making cards and am now finding where my strengths are. I have learned how to utilize social media (escpecially Twitter) in reaching out and making friends, finding like-minded souls. It truly has been a God-send at rotten and rough times. I am eternally grateful for my Twitter friends.
When I first started making cards I thought you had to follow the rules. But what I know now, is that in crafting, there are no rules. And that any rules there are?... Are meant to be broken, stretched, cut, paper pieced, inked and distressed. :)
So today, on my blogaversary, I wanted to share the very first card I EVER made. It's horrible. But at the time I was so proud. The colors don't match, nothing about it is right. Except that I gave it with love.
There will be no blog candy today. So sorry. I will do that on another day. Maybe my birthday?! (Keep your eyes peeled...it's coming up soon! :) )
But, thanks to those of you who do read my blog, who do follow, who do care. I wouldn't still be here 1 year later if it weren't for all of you.
My thanks always,

I may not stop by and say Hi. I do see your posts in my google reader. Your card is much better than my first card. It had stickers. Happy Blogaversary!
I have to say, your card is WAY better than my first card. I won't even think about posting that sucker! I'm so glad I met you and so glad you are blogging! I can't wait to see you again and maybe you can teach me some Tim (your BFF) tricks! :)
Happy Birthday to your Blog! I'm so glad you've stuck with it - your art is beautiful, and so are you! The blogosphere (and twitterverse!) would be a rotten place without you. xoxoxo
Happy Blogaversary, sweetie! You have definitely come a long way with your card making and craft skills.
Having said that, your first effort is nothing to sneeze at! Not sure if I would have been able to come up with something like that if I ever tried my hand at cardmaking.
Miss you, hun.
My first visit here...whata LOVELY blog you have! And yes, I also realize that there's NO rule in the crafting-blog world...just make what you like and do what you wish...whatever it makes YOU happy! Happy New Year!
Love your post-- I agree-- no rules to crafting is VERY important! :) Love the picture of your first card! Thanks for sharing!
Happy Blogaversary to you Lisa!!! Awesome! This card is lovely...so many elements to it...my first was so bad I didn't send it.... or keep it! LOL
I am also glad to be amongst your Tweets. :-)
Your crafting is amazing...you have a wonderful creative eye.
