It's my little "creative diary"! This is why my blog is called "JUST ME AND MY HOBBIES"...Because I love: Photography,scrapbooking,card making,cooking,baking,decorating cakes and cookies,paper crafting,scrapbooking,mixed media,art journaling and atc's (used to be a scout leader also,lol). Oh well,guess I will stop for now,and eventually I might even add something else to my list of "hobbies".
