Making Promises I Can Keep

When I first started writing this blog, it was mainly because I read a few, it seemed fun and I wanted to try my hand at it. My husband and I were just married and had finally moved in together (officially anyway) so we didn't have much and were using our creativity to furnish and decorate our home. We refinished a table, bought a couch and oversized ottoman for 300 bucks, and brought some cheapo brass lamps into a new decade. Those were the good ole days!

But then, I fell into a slump. I found more blogs and felt less creative. Who'd want to read a silly little blog like mine? I tried numerous times to motivate myself, but I fell short. I was trying to be something I'm not and I fell flat on my butt!

But no more of that. I'm living by the infamous Julie Powell motto, "I can write a blog. I have thoughts" and putting my best foot forward. If I crash and burn, oh well. If I have fun, great. If I inspire someone, even better!

So, going into 2011, I promise to:

• Write at least once per week
• Craft/DIY/Decorate at least once per month
• Bring giveaways to the blog
• Start featured spouses up again -with a little twist!
• Never give up

Thanks to those who have stuck with me, although you might have forgotten I was here!
