Why I Started Blogging

 

Tell us your Blog’s story! What made you start blogging? Why did you decide to open up a slice of cyberspace and put your name on it? Tell us what your purpose was back then – is it the same today or have you changed focus?

Many blogs have a rich history, and as a bloggers life changes so does their blog. So it will be interesting to see everyone’s posts this week!

If you’ve never participated it’s easy to do so – don’t be shy. You have until Friday to share you link on the linky and get your mojo goin!

When I started blogging, I had been digital scrapbooking for awhile, and I was getting into photography. I noticed the blog train on scrapping forums where I belonged, so I started my blog as a way to show off the pages I was doing, and to help promote the designers I was working with at the time. In addition, it was a way to document what was going on in our lives. It gave me another creative outlet.

The more I got into the blogging, the more I moved away from the digiscrapping. It’s sad, but I haven’t scrapped in two years. Blogging has become my creative outlet while the rest has taken a backseat. Now, I’m still blogging about our lives, but less about the scrapping. It’s more about the three A’s – Autism, Allergies, and Army. That’s what is taking up the majority of our time these days.

It’s through blogging and social media that I’ve met a fantastic network of people of all kinds. I’m constantly learning, growing, and changing from the people who I’ve chosen to surround myself with – my virtual family.
