Blogging Rookie...

So, here we are computer...it's just you, me, and this crazy blog that I've been thinking of starting for a while now.  See, the thing is that I have tons of super ideas, and let's just face it, I do tons of awesome things that probably everyone needs to know about.  Sadly, if you post about it on Facebook, then you're just some girl who likes to brag, but if you post about it on your blog...suddenly you're some sort of awesome superstar that people follow on Pinterest. 

I'm hoping that blogging here will help me ease my addiction to the old FB and help me make better use of my time, especially because schools kicking back up again and I need a way to motivate myself to complete all of the fantastic projects that I think of while I'm in the shower.  It's going to be a pretty random blog that's filled with things that make me laugh, craft projects, school stories/creations/tips, birthday parties, and whatever other crazy things I choose to write about.  That's why I titled this "From Out of Left Field" - because basically everything will be coming at you from left field!

My newest projects?

• An unfinished wedding scrapbook - specifically a page about getting ready on the big day
• A half done Interactive Writer's Notebook that I started for school in the fall
• My Little Pony decorations for Squirt 1's birthday party
• The family garden, which is growing surprisingly well considering I'm NOT a gardener

I've got to say that I'm pretty pleased with myself on all of these fronts..I just wish I would actually finish something!  It's the time of the summer when I have too many things whirling around in my head and can't stop to focus on just one of them, so instead I turn into that guy at the circus who juggles plates, and working on the writer's notebook leads to trying to piece something together for my Teachers Pay Teachers store which leads to adding a touch here or there to the birthday banner.....oh well, it'll all get done, right?  And then I'll start on my classroom website.....


(I'd hoped to post the banner template I made for the party banner so anyone else could use it, but I couldn't figure out how....so maybe next time!  Until then!)
