My first Blog

I have been posting my projects to my Facebook page and even made me a Facebook group page called Donnaleesplace for paper crafting.. I invited many of my FB friends and noticed I was not getting much response. So I guess they are just not interested:)So this is another reason I wanted a blog.. I know there are other women out there that have a passion for paper crafting like I do! I have 4 Grandchildren Twin Grandsons who are 9 1/2 and are going into the 4th grade and 2 Granddaughters both going in the 1st grade. I have been helping take care of them since they where babies. I have enjoyed every second. Watching them grow has been amazing:) Now it is almost back to school time and this GUBBIE AS THE GRANDKIDS CALL ME:) Is ready for the next chapter of My life. I love taking pictures especially those of my beautiful Grandkids and my gorgeous 2 year old Akita puppy Tucker. I have shared them on FB with friends but I want to do MORE. I found a new way ... Close to my Heart is such a pretty way of scraping. An online catalog company that mission is to show you how to celebrate relationships through discovering your creativity to preserve and share the moments that matter most.. This sound like me.. They offer such beautiful paper packs, stamp sets inks easy to follow workshops on the go for beginners and a program called picture my life that will make even those who think they don't have time to scrapbook have time, and all the tools I need to create beautiful cards and scrapbooking layouts. I want to share my love for all this with you.. So now I am an independent consultant FOR CLOSE TO MY HEART. I have an online store where you can order all these supplies . So bare with me as I start my first blog and share with you some of the things I have made. I've been asked by some of my fellow crafting friends to start a blog so I could share my love for CLOSE TO MY HEART and to share some of the fun things that I have been making since I became a new INDEPENDANT CONSULTANT... ME REALLY??..I had no plans to sign up but when I saw in April they had this awesome promotion that I just could not pass on. At first I thought o.k. I will do this as a hobby and then as I was starting to create Such PRETTY cards. Which I have never been a card maker before I found out that I LOVED making them. I have always enjoyed taking photos so now I am ready to get my photos into my beautiful CLOSE TO MY HEART ALBUMS. Close to my heart has so much more to offer then what I was doing before. My pages are bright and sassy and just bring out the best in me. I can't wait to have some free time again so I can get caught up and be the Creative WOMEN I KNOW I AM. I am very behind. So now that all 4 of my awesome grandkids are going to be in school full time I need something to do with my time. OTHER THEN GO WORK A REAL JOB which I don't really want to do. I enjoy staying at home. So here we go my first blog.
