a whole new world
I’m very new to blogland. A few months ago I had never even visited a blog. I was at Barnes and Noble one day and came across a publication called Artful Blogging. As a graphic artist, I immediately fell in love with its beauty…and then I became intrigued by what I saw and read.
Since then I have spent a lot of time surfing through blogland, and it’s like a whole new world has opened up for me! I’m sure I’m not the first one to feel this way, in fact I am probably way behind the times.
But I am awed by this incredible community of artists, writers, photographers, all opening themselves up, sharing their work, their lives, their artfulness. I feel like my world has just increased in size exponentially, yet at the same time it has become much, much smaller.
I can read about the day-to-day lives of artists in California, Oregon, Sweden, Germany. And marvel at the way we all have so much in common, even as we pursue the ultimate form of individuality.
I am humbled. I am entranced. And above all, I am grateful.
Hello world. It is so very nice to meet you.

Thank you so much! I feel like I have fallen down the rabbit-hole into blogland and I can’t believe what a great place it is. (I may never go back above ground!) I really like your blog and your artwork as well, love birds! I’m sure our paths will be crossing again….
All the best, Kelly

If your experience is anything like mine, your life is changed forever – in a good way!. Blogging has opened up world’s and people to me that I cannot imagine being without now. A “room of my own” where the nicest people join me to chat, play, laugh, muse, or just sit quietly and keep me company… and then invite me back to their beautiful spaces to do the same. It’s a wonder and delight. Welcome!
