Allo Gov'ner

So. . . Here's my story: I have never used a personal blog before. Sure, I've blogged for school using Wordpress and Edmodo, but every time I create a blog for personal use, it always ends up falling by the way-side. I just never seem to find the time to spend on it, I'm unreliable in updating it, and I no longer enjoy using the computer for leisure at home. However, I do enjoy checking out other peoples' scrapbooking, card-making, and stamping blogs, when im searching for inspiration. There are two main reasons for me giving in to blog pressure this evening: the first is the fact that my cousin has a fantastic blog where she displays all her creations, and enters them into creative challenges on other blogs... And... Wait for it... Rakes in some awesome prizes! To put it quite simply: Mama wants a piece of that pie!! The second reason is that I'm hoping that I can do all this via my new iPad. I'm going to need quite some time to get this up and running, and patience is not a virtue which I possess, so please bear with me :-)
