The Deep End...

When I was about 5 years old I took swimming lessons at the local YMCA.  And, I flunked.  Twice.  I didn't pass because I was too scared to jump off the diving board into the deep end of the water.  I was so scared of trying something new and unexpected that I had to keep repeating the same lesson over...and over again.

I'm definitely a perfectionist.  The unknown can cause me to be paralyzed with fear to the point of being literally frozen where I am.  Starting this blog is kind of like standing on the end of that diving board staring down into the unknown 'deep end.'

However, I'm going to jump in anyway.  I am excited to have a place to share all the good stuff that surrounds me.  Happy stuff.  Crafty stuff.  Scrappy stuff.  New things I learn.  Whatever happens to be on my mind at any particular moment.  Hang on and enjoy, because here we go...

One....Two....THREE!
