It is finally done!!! This blog has needed an overhaul for such a long time and with the help of my friend Jen Walker it has finally happened!!! (Thanks, Jen!!!! You are the best. Really.) What do you think?? I LOVE it!!!! Make sure to take a look around. Here is a verbal tour...
Look at the banner under the blog header...I will be filling these pages with lots of content. A few free class PDF's are coming. I am thinking of adding class downloads for a small fee for my current classes, then you play along even if you can't make it to a workshop.
Videos will be coming!!
There is a button to buy my book over there in the top right corner.
Now you can connect to my facebook, twitter, pinterest...(deep breath)...instagram and LIKE my facebook page. I would LOVE if you LIKED me...I love friends. Look over there on the right. See it?? I even made the Instagram button. yeah...I am getting all "techie".
There are lots of things to check out. Let me know what you think. Jen is in the process of adding something like Networked Blogs so you can follow along a little easier. Because...are you ready for it...I will be posting on a regular basis. Can ya dig it? Lots of crafting stuff...photos...inspiration sources...lots of fun stuff. Let me know what you would like to see. Let me know if you have question...I will fill up the FAQ area with tons of tidbits.
First thing...
I am doing this photo challenge I saw Nic Howard post....
She found it HERE. Wanna play along?? I figure this is something I can commit to and actually do it. I also want a reason to take photos everyday! I need something to instagram, tweet, facebook, pinterest and post, after all. Phew! and ha!! So check back later for my interpretation of "UP". Should be fun!!!
Next...
Check back tomorrow for something I am cooking up with Courtney Walsh. (it's good...really good) I always knew she was a talented lady...love her ART...have known her for years...been on DT's together...sweet lady...and now an author of something oh so special!!!! I know!!! I have lots to say about that tomorrow!!! You have to go check out her blog today...HERE and the Brave Girls site...HERE. Lot of GIVEAWAYS over there!!!! Fabulous. Truly.
Now...how about a GIVEAWAY!?!?!? It is a good one. And I always save the "candy" for the end of the post. To celebrate my new blog and my leap into the social media world and just the plain old good feelings that come with giving stuff away...
A copy of my book, CREATIVE FOUNDATIONS !!!! One copy, signed if you want, will be going to a lucky comment leaver!!!!!!! Like my facebook page for more chances to win!!!!
GIVEAWAY CLOSED!!! Congrats, JILL!!!!!
