"GROW YOUR BLOG"

Hello,  Is everyone as excited as I am that this party has finally started. And what better weather to stay indoors and make new friends. My name is Tonia, and friends is one of the reasons I wanted to start blogging. I'm going to retire soon and know that not too many people are going to come out this far to visit. And I am a people person. So I'm hoping you will become a friend. Sharing the parts of our lives that friends do.

Before I get carried away, I want to voice my gratitude to Vicki, for being willing to help so many people grow their blogs. I cannot imagine the time and work involve. Especially with the newbies (like myself). I also want to thank Vicki for introducing Karen to us. I can't thank Karen enough. She held My hand, while revamping my blog and getting me on gmail. If you weren't there, well lets put it this way she is very patient and did a great job. Thank you both.

I'm a crafter of about 30 years. But I just started sewing a couple of years ago, and have never looked back. Oh sure, I will probably share something I found in a yard sale and refurbished into something else. Love those yard sales. In fact, todays post was going to be (and stills is) My sewing area which I put together from yard sale finds this fall.

I painted the old chest but had misgiving about the bookcase because it was so nice. But that feeling is over, this spring out side it goes to be painted. The white piece of formica was used but I just put the cut end inside the bookcase. The whole thing was only 40 bucks. After I decide what color to paint the walls, I think the white will pop. And that big blank space on the wall.  Well,  I'm open for suggestions.  Seriously, I welcome ideas.

Next Friday I hope to have the baby quilt done, and have a few pictures of the nail art I'll be doing for Valentines. Wow, I'm trying to tell you everything at one time.  Told you I was excited.  I'm looking forward to learning some things about you, and what you enjoy.

Be safe and warm.
