good intentions....

Well today was the first day of the Blogging for Scrapbookers class by Shimelle... We all recieved our first prompt into our email inboxes with lots of useful tips and ideas.

For this first day, our task is to outline what our intentions are, what we want to get out of taking the class.
For me, I basically want to have a blog that doesnt get abandoned after 3 days/ 3 posts - usually whichever comes first! I've started my blog over about 3 times now, and literally gotten nowhere with it.
I hope that having these prompts arriving into my email inbox (which is permenantly attached to me in the form of my Blackberry) will be a good enough reminder to blog, blog, blog!!
I think there are 2 reasons that my blog has never gotten very far..

1. I dont always have time to scrap/create pretty things , and so if I have nothing creative to share, I feel that theres no point blogging. I have a feeling that Shimelle is going to keep things rather interesting, making sure we are all inspired and have something each day to blog about, wether we have time for craft projects or not!

2. I've never known how to make it look pretty and colourful... like some of the other gorgeous blogs i've seen. I have managed to add this little cherry background which I quite like, but I plan on changing it whenever I figure out how to make a pretty title bar!

I want to try blog as much as possible...And now I have worked out how to blog and post photos directly from my Blackberry - I reaaalllly have no excuse!
