It's been such a long time since I have even viewed my blog I started years ago...dare I start to blog again? Blogging is such a great way to connect with wonderful people and share ideas, recipes, DIYs and a bit of anytime and everything. It is also a big commitment. I think I will start with a few small painting projects to get me started again, or should I say motivated again to be more creative and to finally complete some things I have been procrastinating about for far too long. Before and after pictures to follow...starting small so I don't get overwhelmed. Life is busy with working full time outside the home, keeping on top of household chores as well as balancing a healthy family life. Of course I try to squeeze in some me time with things I like to do and there are oh so many things on my 'To Do' list. Can any of you relate to this...please say yes! With this first post since 2012 I have lots to share and, by the way, I realize I need to update my look so be patient with me please🙃I also have to edit some areas that need changes. I am looking forward to the days ahead and sharing some seasonal decor and life in general in the 'Joy' household. This darling girl came into our family almost 2 years ago. She is a bundle of fun and has filled our lives with abundant joy!
