My first visit to the blogosphere

   A little bit about me: if you haven't read my profile or you don't already know me, you might not know this. I am an independent consultant for two wonderful companies, The Pampered Chef and Close to My Heart. I also have a couple of other jobs to keep me busy, but the main focus of this blog will probably focus on my exploits in both of those roles. I am also happily married and have been very lucky to end up in a wonderful town in Nebraska, close to many of our wonderful family and friends (even though I am a Kansas girl through and through), and if I had to guess, I'd say some of that might end up in this blog. As a little business plug, if you are interested in making purchases please contact me at jamiedusin@hotmail.com or use the link on the left page to visit my CTMH Web site. You can also visit my Pampered Chef Web site, contact me for the link. And now on to my first official blog post:

   I consider myself a crafty person and I love to cook, so I hope I can share some of those joys in my life with you. I'm not sure how successful I'll be at this blogging thing, but I wanted to give it a whirl as a friend/co-worker/neighbor of mine recently started her own blog (feel free to check it out, it's listed in my links) and many of my fellow CTMH consultants have their own blogs and I was starting to feel left out! So, I've decided to use that feeling to inspire me to create my own blog. If it takes as much creativity to write each post as it does just to create the name of the blog, I might be in trouble ... but I can always borrow a muse from a friend or two, like I had to do for the title! I am always excited to see what new project my friend creates next and how creatively she posts it on her blog, so hopefully I can use that excitement to motivate myself to work on some projects and share them with whoever might read this blog.

   Most of my projects will probably be paper-based, such as scrapbooking, card making, memory boxes, calendars, etc., but who knows what I might be inspired to do. I know you will all be eagerly awaiting my next post ... as a teaser it could by anything from name frames to memory boxes to scrapbooking and more. While I won't claim the original idea for most of my projects, they will all have my own creative touches. I will also share some of the scrapbook layouts that I can show you how to make through CTMH.

   I have a Pampered Chef meeting tonight, but my goal is to post some pictures of my projects tonight or tomorrow. Please be patient with me as I get into the swing of blogging.

   Thanks for visiting! Feel free to leave comments!
   Happy Tuesday!
