Hello, Blog! It's Me, Jenny.

Okay, first things first.  Let me admit that I am in total awe of the amazing people out here in blogland  who are completing amazing projects!  I have been losing sleep, literally, thinking of all those projects out there just waiting for me.   Do you do that too?  


Here's a little bit about me...


I have always loved all things creative and am definitely a diy-er.  My husband shakes his head and gives me that look whenever I see something in the store and say "I could do that" or "We could buy it and paint it - then it would be awesome!".    We moved into our first home about 5 years ago, painted and decorated a little, but mostly, I am now ready to re-paint and re-decorate.   But, like most people, I need to do it on a budget.  I have Pottery Barn dreams on a thrift store budget...


We have 3 boys and now that they are getting bigger I have a little more time to devote to home projects.   I discovered blogger and have become totally addicted!  The problem is, the more I see, the more I want to do!  Will there ever be enough time to do these projects I have my eyes on?   


Mostly, I am just so excited to be out here, in the same universe as all these incredible, creative people.   It's a bit scary, though, kind of like going back to school and really wanting to sit with the cool kids and hoping that they like me...


The boys are calling me now to go out and play in the snow - that's how things go around here...Just when I start something, the boys go and decide that they need me.  Not that I mind (too much) of course!  So, good - bye for now.  I hope to hear from some of you soon.
