and...so it begins....

Hello There!

Let's see...where to begin? Hmmm...well this is the story of a woman who once had a blog and then lost it somehow...(not sure how that happened)...so I decided to create a new one.

The 'Why's" of how I came to decide to make a 'new' blog actually came from my Mom.

Yep...I'll blame it on her. 

She showed me pictures she had taken recently of a few quilts she finished recently and I started to think...wouldn't it be nice to have all of this wonderful creativity/art/crafts/food and family stuff online in a blog where we (my family/friends and myself) can come and read about the going's on and see all kinds of neat and often..hilarious photos and wonderful stories and memories that we have to share.

So....that's the 'Why' of it.

Thanks Mom.

(and I love you)

I love you too Dad.

This is my first posting, but I am going to make myself enter something everyday, even if it's just a little blurb like: "did nothing...boring boring..yada yada...."

So here is the beginning of it...sometimes we have to go forward to go back and vice versa to get to where we need to be...and find that our journey still isn't done.

Oh and I named this Bats Cats Spiderwebs and Pixies OH MY! -- because, I love Bats, Cats and okay so I don't like spiders, but I love spiderwebs..they are so pretty...(outside of course) and Pixies, well that's what I used to call my girls who are now out of Pixie age...sort of...BUT I love faeries, fae folk, brownies, imps and pixies...so that's why I named it..what I did.

I consider myself to be a combination of Lily Munster, Laverne and Shirley, Rosanne Barr, Mork (from Mork and Mindy), The Swedish Chef and Gonzo...and a whole bunch of other TV persona's that I can't think of.

I'm also a bit of a hippie...redneck/country misfit who happens to like all kinds of things.
