Quick Note - Great Blog to Report

I find new and wonderful blogs all the time, but found one last week that kind of stopped me in my tracks.  I feel sure lots of you know KC Willis, the fabulous Western collage artist.  In fact, I have read in several of your posts that you have taken some of her classes as she travels around the country.  Well, I just discovered her blog, http://www.trailerparktrinity.blogspot.com/.  Wow!  I started just skimming it, and before I knew it I had read every word, most of it through tears.  It is at once inspiring, compelling, refreshing, revealing and a most personal glimpse into the heart of this truly remarkable human being.  I don't know where you are in your life, but I think KC has something to offer us all.  You can enjoy her art on her website, http://www.lipstickranch.com/.  Maybe that would be a good place to start, then go from there to her blog.  Anyway, when you have a few minutes to spare, take a look.  I promise you will come away with something to think about.

Very First Post

Just a note to get this whole thing started.  Like everyone else who starts a blog, I'm a little nervous and a little unsure of how to start and where to go with all of this.  I have a lot of ideas and a lot of plans.  All I need is the time and a big shot of confidence.  So, I guess the best thing to do is jump in and see what happens.  How scary can it be? 

I have this website, http://www.flightsoffancyboutique.com/  - actually, I have had this web business for almost twenty years now.  I sell trims and embellishments of all descriptions.  I thought it might be fun to use my blog to show you how to use some of my trims and embellishments in projects.  So one at a time I'll give some how-to instructions using pictures and descriptions. 

I'd love to have some feedback on what you think and how I might make the instructions easier to understand.  Will get the ball rolling shortly.
