Why Blog?

I started to blog quite a while back and didn't get far with it, I actually deleted the blog because of fear. I wanted to call it laziness but yes, I was afraid of putting my thoughts out for all to see. Over the past few months I have been doing a lot of research on the net for my upcoming new position, Teacher, I will be homeschooling in the fall. (well, I already homeschool, if you are a mother you know!!) Anyway, as I said, I will begin homeschooling my little ones come August and have been researching, blah, blah, blah and I have come across several GREAT blogs that include lots of WONDERFUL information for me and decided that "I" can do this. I don't know if I will ever get to see my blog come up in a search but even if it doesn't it will be a great place for me to put my thoughts........


I'd like to share a few links with you that I have found over the past months/years. I hope that you may get as much from them as I have:


Heather has wonderful information in her bi-weekly newsletter called the Homeschool Notebook, I love to see what new site she will send in the newest email. You can see past newsletters and sign up here.

If you love to crochet or knit you can find tons of patterns at Crochet Pattern Central.

Here's a little something that I made for my mom. It took me forever to finish (9 years). I started it 9 years ago, worked on it for a little bit (1/2 months) and didn't pick it up again until last Christmas. When I did decide to finish it for her I completed it in 1 week. Needless to say she was very surprised, I guess she decided long ago that she would never get it.




Is cake decorating something you'd like to try. I took three Wilton classes at our local Michael's and have come to love cakes. You can make just about anything with them. Below are a few of the cakes I've decorated and I've gotten several of my ideas from Cake Central.

This is one of my favorites. YES, this is a cake, well, cupcakes anyway.




Another of my favorites is SANTA. Who doesn't love Santa, right!!! I made this for my son's Christmas party at school. He is also made from cupcakes. I love decorating cupcakes quite a bit, they are easy to make and VERY clean.

Well, I guess I need to attend to my home and family. I have sat this morning long enough, it's time to find something to get into. Today is going to be a great day!!!!!!

Oh, by the way, if you are interested in God, children, family, homeschooling, crocheting, cake decorating, scroll-sawing, outdoors, reading, and lots more then come back and visit because I hope to be sharing a lot in my new adventure.



Toodles!!!!
