Joining the party



I'm joining the party. The Ultimate Blog Party. We'll see what this is all about. I'm looking forward to checking out new blogs, having my blog read by new readers and learning more about how to do fancy bloggy things.


Are there any other crafty-mama, wanna-be farm girls out there living in the city (or in the country already)? Anyone else get a kick out of goats? Chickens? City living? Urban gardening? Sewing? Crafts with kids? Cooking? Drop me a line, leave me a comment.


I'm especially looking for tips on how to add to my blog. I like it ok now, but would really like to get to the bottom of it all. What are the measurements of the top banner so I can create one that really fits? How can I make my turtle cake tutorial picture turn into a link? How can I make it funkier, like How About Orange. Or cool fonts like Layer Cake Films. I really want a banner that fits like this one, this one or this one.


So... welcome to my blog. Glad to meet you. Si tu hablas espanol, podriamos hablar aqui. Mais si tu parle francais, moi aussi. On peut parler dans les trois langues. Or just in English if you please.


I think I'm supposed to include which of the prizes I would dig the most, if I were to win. Here goes. I feel like a kid with the Sears catalog in the 70's. (Don't tell me you didn't spend hours looking at all the toys, just wishing wishing wishing that 'Santa' would bring you all the things you marked.) Here goes:

18. Wrap-n-Mat

19. Kleen Kanteen sippy

37. Moby

45. Custom Blog Design

And here's me, in my latest vintage find. Found the dress AND the shoes (in a size 11, that's rare) at a thrift shop that was having a 50 % off every thing sale. ) I'm having a party! (Actually, on my way to a wedding.)
