A New Adventure

This is a new adventure for me.  Starting a blog is something that I have thought about for awhile.  I love looking at blogs that deal with two things...two of my favorite things...crafting and baking!  What better blog for me to start than one that combines both!

As a child I was into whatever crafting kit I could get my hands on.  As I grew out of bead kits, sand art kits, and whatever craft involved stickers I grew into scrapbooking.  I did what I thought was good scrapbooking throughout my high school years and then stopped.  I felt that I had nothing to scrapbook.  Several years went by and my aunt asked me to make a scrapbook of her new grandson for her daughter for Christmas.  Challenge accepted!  Shortly after I got a new puppy and started her a scrapbook.  Next, I got a Cricut machine and the rest is history!  I love to scrapbook!

Scrapbooking also turned into my other favorite crafting hobby, which is making cards.  I love the challenge of thinking of new cards for all my loved ones and also seeing their reaction when they receive one.

Last, but not least, I enjoy baking.  I have always been more of a baker than a cooker and love spending down time trying new recipes and amusing my sweet tooth.  Cupcakes, cake, brownies, breads, and any other yummy concoction that I can dream up!  I get my recipes from family, friends, co-workers, Pinterest, cooking shows, and cookbooks.  I also have a few food blogs that I follow and look forward to sharing with you.

So, please, I invite you back to share in my blog adventure.  I look forward to sharing my homemade creations with you and hope that my hobbies inspire you to have fun, craft, and bake for those you love!
