Hello Welcome to my new Blog,
My name is Janice, most people call me Jan.
I am a stay at home Mom of three boys 14,11,2 all
of which keep me very busy! I am also a full time student
working towards my Associates Degree in Business Management.
I am also a avid crafter. I love anything and all things creative and crafty!
I am not new to the blogging world I have another blog called
The Primitive Outhouse where I have been blogging for a while now.
I love that blog and all my followers, I just felt like I needed a change of pace.
I decided to make this blog to reveal my lighter side and talk
about the many other aspects of my life and creativity.
My 4 C's Children, Crafting, Cleaning, Cooking!
On my other blog I felt limited to what I could blog about.
I felt like it branded me in a way to only primitive,
antiques and the like.
I also felt the same with My Etsy Shop that I have a limit on what I can sell.
I am an Artist and Creator and
I do not want to be limited on what I can do by my name.
I feel in a sense I have done this to myself and because of it
I have been in a creative slump =(
I believe creativity has no limits so why should I limit mine!
I am going to enjoy all sides of my creativity the light and dark side.
In my years of blogging I have run across so many GREAT blogs,
which are not primitive and I have become a follower of so many.
My blog roll is 300+ and I am finding that is confusing and hard to follow.
I want to enjoy all the blogs and comment and make friends
and that is hard to when you can barely keep up and decipher who is who.
I love seeing kid crafts and making them and want a place to share those things.
I love T2T and shabby chic and felt and glitter and PINK!!
That sort of stuff is not primitive but, I LOVE IT!!
I wanted this blog for that very stuff and to make friends with those who also
enjoy those things too!
I now have a way to separate the two and begin another venture
all while having my old ventures as well! I also have created a new
Etsy shop to sell the not so primitive items I have created!
I look forward to meeting all my new followers!
I love your new blog Jan and totally understand what you mean by being limited to what you do and can share. I can's wait to see what you do here!

I'm sure this will be a fun blog. Looking good.
ReplyDeleteWahoo! I was beginning to think that I was the only person in blogland living a double life! LOL I too am caught in between the primitive style & the shabby chic. I love all the old woodenware, crocks, handmades etc. that are worn, dinged & rusty, but the darker colors just aren't me. I just can't give up my pinks & aquas and the shabby chic style is just a little too frilly. So I've created my own style and I'm having a lot of fun doing it.
ReplyDeleteI'll be checking back often to see what you are up to.

Ah you see that is why I kept my blog name and am still posting everything on there. It's generic. I have many sides to me as well but I cannot run two blogs...well maybe I can and will one day.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog here and will be another follower.
