Living On Parker Street

Well now! First post of a new blog, can it be interesting? I don't know. But, I can tell you what is on my mind these days.

First, I moved my blog because I don't use it enough to justify paying almost $60 a year to maintain it. Blogger is pretty cool, since they don't charge for basic blogs, and I can customize it any way I like! Zoe Pearn designed the elements I am using right now. I was craving some springtime, and this is my spring time fix. Zoe is a pretty cool gal. I met her at The Digi Chick, a few years back. Oh, what fun we had there! Chloe has a blog, and she uses these kits by Zoe, and since I like her blog, I thought I would give it a try before I try to design all my own elements. I have to say, I learned a lot from this. Thanks Zoe!

Next. I haven't formally announced it yet, but I am no longer purchasing gold. I am sorry if you have some for me to buy, but it was time to close that business down. I worried and stewed about it for quite a while. Then, last week was really stressful for me, and I finally told God that unless He made some things happen, that were obvious to me, that I would resign my position this week. The signs were obvious, but against staying in business. I find that I am much happier meeting the needs of my family and friends than I am in earning some extra income. It's nice to be needed.

I'll update you about the family, and some of my friends as well. My prayer list suddenly exploded and I think I'll use this forum to talk about some of them, and how they progress.

Along with everything else, I think I want to use this blog to highlight some fun digital scrap booking items, pages I do, and hopefully some of the things I have been designing. If all goes well, a freebie now and then, too! Wouldn't that be fun?

Most people know that I am a sincere coupon user. I will, from time to time, offer suggestions and announce crazy good buys as I find them. There are tons of blogs dedicated to saving money with coupons, so I won't be going over board there.

All this to say, I have a lot of things on my mind that I want to share. I love FaceBook, but it just doesn't offer me enough room to say all that I want to talk about. So, until next time, try to catch me at FB! My user name there is noralong (shocking, huh?). Look me up, and let's be friends!
