Inspiration and Encouragement

My purpose for writing a blog is intended to be mutually advantageous. You will have the chance to get to know me better, but I also hope to learn more about you, my friends.  Being a “life-long learner” is the only way to be, so I will write about things I know and things I want to know. I will write about interesting places on the prairie and interesting people who call the prairie “home”. Crafting tutorials, including “Kid’s Crafts”, will be a part of the blog and it’s my intention to bring you new and exciting projects.
