And . . . we're off!!!

Woo Hoo! My very first post on my "grown up" "business" blog!!! Very exciting:-). So after leaving my other "forgotten" personal blog behind, I am fully motivated to start fresh with the inspiration from the movie "Julie and Julia". Although instead of culinary challenges, my journey will be crafts, fun, love, life . . . pretty much a jumble of randomness . . . but that's what makes up me!

So to start here on New Year's Day . . . Day #1 . . .

I just want to introduce my lil crafting site, my dream and inspiration: Memory Bean Designs!!! Sooo what a weird name, some kind of bean? Hee hee let me quickly explain. My good ole friend Bethany (love you!) introduced me to scrapbooking over 10 years ago during our college days. We would have a blast crafting away, with the help of some yummy coffee drinks. Nope not just plain-Jane coffee, the yummy flavored lattes, espresso shakes, the good stuff:-).

So anywho . . . as time went on we always dreamed of opening up a scrapbook store, and thought it should include a coffee shop so other can enjoy the yummy coffee as they create and shop. So I wanted to call it "The Memory Bean". Life got busy. She moved across state and got married and had gorgeous babies:-). I went to college and met the love of my life and got married . . . and although we are not able to open our store . . . I want to carry the inspiration into my craft business as Memory Bean Designs!

So you can find me at www.memorybeandesigns.etsy.com

So that's it for my first post, HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all and I wish you all an inspiring new year. Get out and actually do thos things you have always wantedto, but have been putting off:-)

Thanks!
