Polka Dots and Stripes

So here it is!!!  My very first blog post.  Recently I find reading people's blog's facinating!!!  And I think I know why...the English major in me loves a good autobiography and blogs are like autobiographies but better...they don't necessarily end.  I love traveling to Stacy Julian's blog, Ali Edwards' blog or Becky Higgins and finding all kinds of cute and interesting tidbits.  They show new shoes, cute pottery or their latest scrapbooking tool they love.  They also share new recipes (ok, that may be going a bit overboard for me) and good books they've read.  WHAT A FUN IDEA!  So, I thought that maybe between my love of shopping and finding that fun new item, scrapbooking and crafting or just plain being silly, I may have something to share as well.  I'm not quite sure who will read this but between my cousin Sara, my parents and my niece Megan, I should keep a few people entertained.  So welcome and I will be posting a photo soon, as soon as I  figure out how to do that (and find a decent photo of me.)
