Creative daughter



I know everyone says she's just like me, and she is, but times 10! I don't think I got that creative, that early in life. She's way ahead of me in a lot of things.
Take for instance, her book report. I don't remember what this style was called, but she was supposed to draw pictures on the 4 triangles, hook them together, and write the report on the flat part (see photo). That was too easy for my daughter. She had to make the pictures 3D. I didn't mind that, and I thought it was really cute, but she spent nearly 10 hours (maybe more) doing this and barely finished the project in time. She did her report on 'Book of a Thousand Days' by Shannon Hale.
It turned out awesome, but wow, that's a lot of time to spend on a book report. She was surprised that only 1 other classmate had anything 3D on their report - I wasn't. But, that's my daughter, she wouldn't have been happy with it any other way.

Here I go

Okay, so I created this blog a couple of months ago but haven't posted anything yet. I have seen some really great blogs, and kept wondering how I could possibly write anything to compete with them. I finally realized I don't have to. My blog is really for me, so it should show me and not a copy of someone else. So I won't try to compete, I won't try to start with some amazing post, I'll just be myself and put what I feel like on here and start with this post. If nobody wants to read it, that's okay with me. At least I finally got it started.
I'm sure my blog will improve over time because I'm still trying to figure this whole thing out. But I know what I want it to be, so you may want to visit occasionally. It might just turn out good. So if anyone is reading this, here I go- GERONIMO!
