I resolve to be satisfied with whatever I have handmade with love and aloha. I will not stress myself with how many times I post on this blog. I will not obsess on how many people choose to visit me and leave a comment. But most of all, I will NOT let the fear of putting myself out there stop me from putting myself out there.
Thank you to everyone on the PTI forum (my online family) for all their support and encouragement. It means a lot to this shy, introverted crafter sitting behind my computer desk.
oh my you are too funny! I can't wait to see your first crafty post!
ReplyDeleteNadine, I love this blog background and especially the name of the blog... it's quite memorable! :) And I like your resolutions... we can't compare ourselves to others. We're not made for that. I'm SO excited you decided to join our blogging world and I'm VERY honored to be your first (among many, I'm sure!) followers! :)

Nadine, I'm so happy for you that you started a blog!! What you wrote was so heartfelt and I agree that it can be intimidating at first.
