Blog Hop???

Hello Ladies and Gents,

 So today I signed up to be a part of a blog hop. What does that mean? I have no idea but since I have a blog I might as well start using it for the greater good. 

  Let's start with a little background on my crafting. I just recently started crafting late last year 2011. A friend had introduced me to these things called matchboxes. "Oh my!!, I can do that. They're so cute!" So I tried my hand at them and my kids and I started making them all the time. I was then told about Swap-Bot.com. This was a place that I could swap my little boxes of art. Once there I discovered dozens of different art creations. ATC's, Paper bag mini's, Inchies and so much more. I started swapping and became addicted very fast. Now that I think back, I never did swap a matchbox. 

  I've recently started making mini albums from envelopes using a fellow Youtubers Stack the Deck binding method. I love this binding method. It's simple to understand and a secure way to bind your minis. Her name is Laura and her Youtube name is Followthepapertrail. 

  I have learned so much from watching other crafters videos. Sometimes I have to follow step by step. You know, where you push play, "Grab your choice of colored cardstock." Press stop button and get my cardstock. Press play, "Make sure you measure 2"..." Press stop button. Other times I look at my project long enough to figure things out.

  I'm still learning how to create on my own but along the way am having so much fun watching videos and through trial and error. 

  So that's me in a nutshell. I hope you find your way back to me when I start this blog hop and afterwards. I'm going to try to keep up this blog to let you all know where I am and where I'm going on my crafting journeys. 

 Thanks for visiting my page and hope to see you all again real soon.
Oh BTW, why not check me out on Youtube. Here's a video of a mini I made for a swap on Myscraproom.ning.com. Love Gina and our group soooo much!
