An Introduction is in Order

Hi my name is Julie and have been thinking about this blog for a long time.  Up until this moment I have been too chicken to start it.  I asked myself are you crazy, what will I say, what can I contribute? I finally decided today is the day, I will be brave!  

I live in Southern California.  I have two grown children and a wonderful supportive husband.  I work full time in a job that is outside the realm of creativity.  Luckily, I have a burning need to create and have happily enjoyed crafting since I was a young girl.  Take my word on this I have several decades of experience. 

Until a year ago I was giving away my labors of love as gifts, raffle prizes, or using them in my own home.  I have an Etsy Shop at
http://www.highlandinspirations.etsy.com/
where I sell my fabric and paper arts.  Of course part of starting this blog was to help promote my Etsy shop, Card, and Scapbooking classes, but I want it to be so much more.  I want to be able to share great finds and techniques while having a little fun.  These could include eco, money, and time saving tips. 

Who knows for sure, this blog could take on a life of its own.  Come with me on this grand adventure and with God's help I won't be afraid anymore.

 My Adorable Halloween Treat Boxes Class At Pages from the Heart in Monrovia, California.

Call them if you want to join us on Sept 18th.  There are still a few spaces open.

My Uncommon Woman 2 page layout class on October 2nd at Pages from the Heart.

Call them to join us.  I made this for my Daughter's millitary pictures but Pages is using it as their Breast cancer Awareness Layout.  It has hidden journaling and extra Photo mats under the unique over the sleeve flourish shaped panels.

Don't forget to visit my shop one or two of the Halloween Treat Boxes are available for purchase at http://www.highlandinspirations.etsy.com/

Thanks for visiting, until next time.
