A few decades ago, I relocated from a megatropolis to an extremely miniscule city in comparison to those former stomping grounds. Nonetheless, it was the right fit for me, smaller crowds... fewer cars... tall buildings are almost non-existant, a plethora of tree's... and the cleanest n' clearest blue skies I had seen since I was a wee tike. And at the time, I thought it was everything that I could possibly want... but then I discovered DIY programing on the tube.
Boy, was I ever hooked. I was transfixed to the telly whenever I was home. And whatever would be missed during the day while I worked, was taped so I could view it whenever I had a free moment. Not only did I watch what the US of A had to offer, but I also watched what was being shown across the ocean on BBC TV.
If you could only see my closet, you would find a space bursting with video tapes that I acquired during that time period. But unfortunately, fads end and the days of Decorating Cents and Chris Lowell have disappeared. Sadly, these DIYee's have been replaced by programming that now feature renovations costing huge sums of money, all of which intentionally coaxes us to spend, spend, spend.
Subsequently, this person completely lost interest... my much loved DIYer's had disappeared from the tube, and so did I from the viewing of decorating sitcom's.
But little did I realize that my much loved passion hadn't ceased to exist, it had just relocated... yeah, just like me.
And, only recently did I suss out their current location, OMGosh... was I ever buried under a rock. Little did I know that YouTube had some smokin' hot video's, covering everything that I had fallen in love with [and so much more] so many years ago. Oh, and let me not forget the blogsphere. And guess what lead me there? Give up, those amazing photo's that are posted on Pinterest.

So, here I am. About to embark on a trip I know I'm gonna love. However, it will be a journey that I explore from behind the closed doors of my home. Currently, I'm compiling a 'project list' of things I wanna add to my surroundings... and many, many thanks goes out to those 'super crafters' that frequent Pinterest.
