Amy, Tsuruta Designs, posted a Flashback Friday challenge and asked us to join her in posting our first cards posted on our blogs. Yikes! So, I'm being a Brave Girl and digging mine up from February 6, 2009, when I began blogging.
Isn't that scary photography?! Actually, I took a cue from Amy and lightened the pics up as they were even dreadfully darker than they are here!
Thankfully, not only has blogging been a fantastic adventure, I've learned so much along the way....from fellow bloggers, friends, and all of my favorite search engines. Many thank yous to all sources of information & learning (and old & new friendship & connections!)!! Hopefully, it has led to picture taking that doesn't require me to be a Brave Girl. :>
Hey I remember this! I had to giggle over your photography comments. It has been quite a journey!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love the burst of bright colors on your first card! ;)
ReplyDeleteRight back at YA, darling girl! MUCH of what I've learned... YUP! Came from you! I'll never forget your cheerful explanations of HTML and all of that nonsense... {hee hee - not REALLY!} This was SUCH a fun premise, suggested by that AMAZING Amy chick! She'd be DANGEROUS IRL, huh! hee heee!
ReplyDeleteHello Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the card from your first post and I so agree with you on how blogging helps us to grow and the information and wonderful connections we get from fellow bloggers.
You know what else I love? YOU! Thank you Sweet Friend for being so wonderful to me, for hanging in there with me and for your sweet and caring comments and emails. Your kind words and friendship mean more to me than you could ever know and I truly adore you and your sweet soul!
Big hugs,
Karyn

ReplyDeleteI hopped over from the comment you left on my blog- so glad to find another papercrafter! My early pics are dreadful!!! So dark and not cropped in at all!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like your brother had a great time this summer. Love the pictures. I wish I had the time (and money) to travel for the summer, but maybe one day.
