About lil' ole me........



I live in the Pacific NW near Portland Oregon. I am a busy mom who adores her young son, teaches fitness classes, and who loves to decorate with anything found hanging from a tree. I love painted furniture, red doors, playing in my scrap room and will take years to decorate a room, just waiting for the perfect item. I didn't fall in love and marry until age 36. I almost didn't go out with him because he had an ugly black leather couch. He's the perfect man and stays out of all decorating decisions....... except he still won't let me paint a vanity that was his Grandmothers. In my spare time, I love watching Oprah and playing with my new fancy pants camera.I started to blog just over 3 yrs ago with my personal blog. Today's Creative Blog was thought up and started all within 5 min. I craved seeing new blogs that had creative projects, so I figured there must be more people just like me who wanted the same thing. I wanted to create a place where I could highlight another creative blog everyday........ it soon became just about everyday. Never in a million years did I think I would meet so many people who I really call my friends, even though I have never met them face to face. It's been a wild ride that I hope to continue.I get many questions about how I choose a blog to feature. When I come across a blog that tickles my creative side, I plop it in my FFF (future feature file) to save. I wish I was ultra organized and could say I pre-plan my blog posts for the week, month or longer........but truth be told, I scour my file on any given day that I think I have time to post. I find one that speaks to me......many, especially in the beginning are blogs I frequent.......and I create my post right there and then.If you have a creative blog or you have a favorite one that you know I'd love, please send it along. Krjdemmon@comcast.netPS. I would love to participate in tags, awards, etc..........but honestly I hardly have time to post. Thank you for thinking of me.
