IN with the old!

So...the task of writing the inaugural post for a new blog...such pressure.  It's like I wish I could pretend you've been reading this for months now and we could just pick up where the last post left off...but alas, we have to begin somewhere.  How about I introduce myself?  Okay.  I can do that!  How about we play two truths and a lie???

1-I just moved to a new city.
2-I am crafty.
3-I love tacos.

Now which one is the lie?

Okay, I admit it!  I am NOT crafty.  I mean, I love the IDEA of being crafty.  I adore Martha Stewart, have subscribed to her magazine for years (I even read an issue while on my flight to Las Vegas for my bachelorette party--how hard-core crafty is that?!), track her movement on Instagram, and sometimes think to myself: "WWMD?"  I can crochet, kinda.  I can make jewelry, sorta.  But when it comes right down to it, being crafty is more of a challenge than an inclination.  That's a big part of why I'm doing this blog.  I mean, who doesn't love a challenge?  Right???

As for the truths, 7 months ago my husband, our Corgi, and I moved a little over 1,000 miles away from our HOME.  We moved to a charming town that grants us access to tacos 24-7 so my #3 above is satisfied.  I guess that'll take care of the intro for now. 

There are two other divas that you will meet later.  Two of my best gal pals who have agreed to this blog experiment, and they just happen to live back HOME.  Ah-ha!  Are you starting to catch on to the whole "long distance design" thing?  Well, if not, here's a brief overview:

1-Each friend sends a mystery item to one other friend at the beginning of the month.
2-The recipient of the mystery item has the month to re-purpose, re-imagine, re-style it and post the process/results here on the blog.
3-Wash, rinse, repeat for the next month.

And that's about it!  Maybe we'll inspire some folks.  Maybe we'll get a follower or two.  Maybe Martha will stumble across my work, and bestow her blessings upon me.  I dunno.  Stay tuned and find out!
