My Very First Post

Let me just start off with a simple warning, I am a blog “illiterate”, so I ask you to please bare with me as I begin this process. Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, here goes:

My name is Christine and I am an avid “Mommy” and DIY Blog follower. I love the fact that these amazing people allow me to steal, uhm I mean share such great ideas.  There is one problem for me in this…I am not all that crafty or handy for that matter. I think the desire and possibility is there, but I am impatient. I want it done now. Waiting for paint to dry, measuring, pre-planning are not in my vocabulary, hence my self inflicted disasters.

I figured that there has to be more moms like me out there…striving to live up to these moms who I assume must have more hours in the day then I do or possibly have some super power that doesn’t require sleep. I am in no way knocking them, they amaze me. I mean they make furniture, sew and can repurpose in ways I can’t believe. What I am trying to do here is meet in the middle. I figure that I can vent, share some simple ideas that have worked for me as well as some of my failures. I will also have to be accountable (slightly). I am hoping posting will inspire me to use some of my ever growing collection craft supplies, talk about the kids or what the dog got in to this time, as well as make so new friends and share some smiles along the way.Wow!! 

My very first post complete…now if only I had a few followers...
