The "Martha" in Me

Welcome friends! I am totally new to this blogging thing but have enjoyed keeping up with several friends' blogs so hopefully I can bring you laughter, inspiration, and several smiles just as their blogs have done for me! Well, inspiration was a stretch but it's worth a shot.
I officially started by setting up my blog page on Thursday and it is now Saturday and just now sitting down to write my first blog. Why you ask? Well, as many of you know, I am a bit of a crafty person. Not serial/crazy/stay up all night and scrapbook kind of crafter, but the creative juices definitely  run deep down into my soul. Everytime my wonderful husband hears, "Hey honey, I have this idea for a project", I think he gets nauseous and starts thinking how we are going to pay for our daughters college when I'm out spending money on materials for a "project" that half the time results in trash because it wasn't perfect. (Yeah, I can be a perfectionist sometimes too...but definitely not when it comes to the cleanliness of my house.) I love to make things special...personalize, stick with a theme, stay up all night punching out ant sized holes in baby shower invitations in the shape of a baby elephant hula-hooping. Okay, sometimes I do stay up all night crafting but let's move on. After trying to come up with a clever name, I then decided to navigate around the setting to see what I can do.  PERSONALIZE?!?! ADVANCED SETTINGS?!?! The "Martha Gods" have spoken! This blogging thing was an excellent idea. Hmmmm....I wonder what else is out there? Oh....my.....gosh....the possibilities are endless! Backrounds from owls to gnomes to japanimation? I may have to change my theme every month! Who am I kidding? Every month...HA! Who wants to change there blog theme every month? I'm thinking every week! Heck, everyday if I want to! And this is when I realized that I have a problem. I can't even set up a blog and personalize it in one day. It takes 2 1/2 days for me to decide on something and I'm not even sure if I like it...good news is, it doesn't cost me anything so I now believe that my husband will be very supportive in my blogging efforts.
