Ok! Here I am. I've joined the "blog"wagon and started my own blog. For those who do not know me, my name is Janice. I live in Southern California, where it hardly ever rains, but when it does... it pours. Hmmm.. that sounds like a song. Oh, I try to have a sense of humor, sometimes I am successful... then other times, I duck a alot.

I am a Special Education Teacher by trade. I love creating. I love figuring out how to "do something" and make "it". I love to spend time with my Scrapbooking Buddies. We've gone to a couple of Expos and will be going to CHA in Anaheim next month. My favorite person to see of all times is Tim Holtz! Yes, I am a Tim Holtz groupie... just love his products. And what a nice guy he is!

I've dabbled in crafts since I was a young girl, cutting out pictures of models and clothes from the Sears and Roebuck catalogs to make paper dolls. I begged my mother for a subscription to the American Handicrafts Club, where they would send a craft kit in the mail once a month. I sold hand crafted Troll Paper dolls in elementary school for 15 cents each and 25 cents if you wanted some clothes with it. I sewed Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls and sold them to shops. My mother and I created hand sculptured dolls that we named "Son Flowers" (No, not sun flowers). My daughter and I made earrings and sat hours upon hours at craft fairs. We sold customized clocks with various themes (mostly 80s cartoons) and sold on Ebay. So what am I doing now? I'm creating digital die cuts for digital cutters.

Ok, Hopefully, I'll be able to add lots of fun and exciting things to this blog.
Now, to get my Scrapbooking Buddies to post a note so I won't feel so lonely here

Hugs!
Janice
