The first post.....

So this is blogging.  I have been putting this off for a long time now but finally today I bowed to pressure and decided to take the plunge and set up this account.  I only know one person that will read this....you know who you are!  But I might be brave and let other people know it exists eventually! 
So why have I taken the plunge?  Well, the creative me thought it would be fun to set up the template and choose the photos and fonts and colours....and it was!  It is much like scrapbooking. Choosing a layout and colours and positioning photos...actually VERY like scrapbooking where the idea is that you record events in your life using photos and journalling.....yes the more I think about this the more it seems to me that blogging is just a modern form of scrapbooking. It is getting more appealling already! 
So what sort of posts will I write?  I think there will be 3 main types.  The Parent posts, where I will regale you with amusing (and not so amusing) anecdotes of my muddling through the everyday torture that is bringing up 3 not quite ordinary children.  The Crafty posts, where I might just bore you with some of my creations and then the Geeky posts where I may go on about spaceships or other science stuff.
Here we go then....I am going to press PUBLISH POST now and enter the world of blogging.....!

  1. Welcome to the blogosphere!
    I love the design, giraffes, of course!
    I predict that by the end of 2010 you will be on the top 100 parent blogging sites.
    I certainly find blogging rather addictive, and I bet you will too. look forward to hearing your stories!
