A Bazillion Thanks

Oh GOOD GRIEF, this is it my very first entry on my very first blog!! I can't remember when I have fretted, erased, redid, fretted, erased, and redid.... as much as I have with this blog ;c} Why you may ask would a woman who is use to writing for public consummation finds this venue so intimidating?? Well It's very simple. When I wrote or published in BM (before Mexico) it was professionally. The woman behind the title was never exposed. But here on my Blog (oh I like the sound of that:c} ) it's about me, the personal me, the woman who lives in this body. I don't know about you but for me the intimidation factor is WAY up there. But with the encouragement from many supportive sisters in "Bloglandia" I'm dipping that toe in the pool.



SO it's through this Blog I hope to share my day to day life as I learn about, adapt and become part of my adopted country's culture. I have always been an Artsy Crafty type of gal, who loves to build her nest with her own creations. When we moved to Mexico since we were starting a new phase of our lives we decided we'd come with a clean slate. So we sold, gave away or donated everything except what we were sure WE couldn't live without. We bought a 5'/8' trailer what treasures fit came what didn't was given new homes. It has been one of the best decisions we ever made. Because now I have all the reasons in the world to cut and paste and sew, and fluff and imagine and CREATE :c}



By some Tiny Miracle I have been allowed the chance to create, nurture and enjoy the friendships of a wonderful gifted and sharing community here in "Bloglandia" If you have a bit of time I'd like to invite you to check in on me once in awhile. Maybe check to see what project I'm working on or explain why a simple trip to the fabric store becomes a Three Stooges movie with the audio running backwards :c}



Nope didn't forget about the title. And as it says I own a number of new sisters/friends a bazillion and one thanks!!!! There's Nancy here in Mazatlan. But most especially I would still be sitting on the outside with my nose pressed against the screen if not for Dawn from The Feathered Nest and Laurie form Laurie's Charming Designs holding my hand, and leading the cheering section of this 'Little" (HA) production!!!!!!!!!! So you two I'm proud to say I've joined the ranks of your amazing fan clubs!! (Note Please can someone please tell me how to get the blog titles to link back to the blogs?)

Hmmm what do you guys think not to bad for a maiden run?? Tomorrow I think I might even get a bit cocky and try adding a picture or two. Stay tuned, it's Market day if Tropical Storm Lowell lets up ;c}

Yaaaaaay Pattie!!! You did a WONDERFUL job!!! It's so good to have you here and do not worry to leave a comment to ask folks to visit, please let me introduce you properly!! OH and to link, all you do is when you are creating your post, highlight the name of the blog or person, then click on the little chain button where the font and size area is and then paste in a highlighted and copied web address.

I usually visit that blog then copy (control "C") the blog's address that's in my browser's window then paste it into the tiny link window (control "V") and then the words will be highlighted because they are linked!

Welcome Pattie to the Land of Blog ~ it's filled with kindness, creativity and inspiration!!!! xxoo, Dawn

G'day Pattie from Australia!
I was just reading Dawn's blog and thought I would pop over and wish you all the best - and you wouldn't believe what a total surprise to see that you had us listed as one of "The Women who Inspire me"!!!!
"Unreal Banana Peel"
You have done a wonderful job with your blog, I can see I have some stiff competition....LOL. I keep saying that I need to add some links and still haven't done it.
Nice to read about your life.

PS My 7yo son just loves the Mona Lisa - and anything created by Leonardo da Vinci - so he was so excited to see her painting here, when I showed him.

You will have a lot of fun with blogging. I think the background makes it kinda busy when reading the words, but maybe my poor computer eyes are all worn out. Only a minor thing, but maybe there is a more neutral background available to make reading easier. Have fun with your blog! Mexico has no shortage of material.
