It seems these days that everyone is keeping a Blog... I have been adding fun Blogs I have come across to my list every day...and many of these people I do not even know!! I hope no one minds...I certainly want other people to read mine, friends and strangers alike. It won't take long to get to know me if you stay tuned...
What I think is so cool is that you really get to hear the author's voice coming through and people have so many interesting things to say...and anything goes!
My Blog up to this point has been mostly about what happens in my busy life. That is the personal stuff that my friends like to read. I think I might expand on that so that I start documenting my thoughts and feelings on various subjects as well. Lists seem to be extremely hot, as are links to other funny and interesting things, sites, people, etc. I have been thinking up many topics that would be fun to write and read about, so that will also be coming soon!
I have also noticed that everyone has really cool photographic banners at the top of their pages....I will have to find a cool picture to work with...I have no idea where to begin!! I know that I can count on Nicole or Jessica for some help...these girls are both amazing photographers and also pros at Photoshop!!
*** Addition to original post***
I have just come across two very cool sites Arrow in Time and Ten Years of My Life .
In Arrow in Time, a family takes a picture of themselves every year on the exact same day. You can see the changes over the past 27 years.
In Ten Years of My Life, the author is taking one single picture every day of his life for the next ten years.
What a COOOOOOL idea!!! I know scrapbooking is kind of like that, and so are blogs, but to put it in sequential order, without any words also shows you where the time goes....
I might have to try that some time. My camera is in my purse 24/7 anyway :)
You're too sweet to mention me! You know I'd love to help! :)
This blog stuff is too addicting, isn't it? Fun, fun! Can't wait to see your lists, etc!

Hey Kristi -
My banner is a slice of a digital photo I took of an old magnolia tree on the grounds of my office. I sized it to the dimensions someone mentioned on scrapjazz, (the numbers are escaping me at the moment), and then layered the text in PhotoShop7. If you need help let me know, I'd be happy to play around with a pic for you if you'd like! I'm loving my new PS skill and need the practice : )
