Lets begin..
Welcome to my world of Ideals ,ramblings of words and a odd Imagination in
creating things , talking about how to make things , let share different the
ways of doing it. We Can Talk about an array of things From Crafts ,Cooking
, DIY projects. down to Kids and Family.. I might not talk about the latest
fashions an such and yet there are times ,I Might talk about them ,that if
someone brings them up .. This is not a Blog about bashing people.. heck
,I'm just figuring how to go about a Blog an what to write here by the
seat of my pants*L* ( there I go , trying something new again ,)with this
Blog,,.. so everyone knows , Nope ! no English Major here, I'm a Good
Honest " Typo Grammar Queen " If don't Phrase things right ,bare with me
I will get the point across.
I'm hoping to share things with some with you ,of the things, I made or
done over the years an of I want to do as well . I would like to feature those
willing to share their things here to ..oh Goodness! there that Rambling Factor *
just I will have to make some Categories as well to put things in ,an Organized things into sections, as I have a lot of Feathers in my Cap, and yet Master of none. and have to try to make what i don't come up with in my head.. Had I made mistakes in
making somethings .. YEP! and I'm sure you have done some as well . an I'm sure there a Funny tale or two behind something you Made.. .so here we have it we can talk
about it, how Many times I've had to fix something. ummm*grins *duck tape can fix a lot
of things ..and rubber bands , glue.. you name It.. Now what to put
where?.... stares off to space...

Every  blue moon besides my own ideals, I like see what others have made and need to try to make as well, I came across this wonderful Lady who was  making gnomes on Facebook her first  tutorial...very well put together , easy to make..
This is  something to try my hand at .and the ease of this craft.... I did what I called the gnome challenge  ..to see if I could do half  as well.... She even mention dollar store, where most the things was brought for the craft ***lovveeee it!*easy an cheap that's for  me  being on a budget and looks great ,will post link to her video here... which I ask if could ....BTW  Thank you Jenny ,,
