Golly Gosh !

I just realised that I did have comments/readers/a voice in the blogosphere calling back to me.
I knew I wasn't just hearing voices :P  Thank you to my very first visitors and comments (how delightful some of them are our designers that give us some of the best freebies on the web and they are totally supportive of the
blog - this is a good sign and a huge relief. I don't know, I feel a little shameful having freebies sometimes, but
I know it is only temporary, until I can make something I can handle selling (and whilst Paislee Press has nothing to worry about - ever, I do have taste and style, my dear friends and I will not sell rubbish - I am all about quality and polish!)  It's quite a thorn in my side, as I have a sneaky feeling (and designers and scrappers reading feel free to confirm my suspicions) that yes, your first few layouts and designs are quite basic and perhaps cringeworthy after a year or so, Ellie Lash has hers on a completely different blog with very apologetic notes about not judging her on her earlier designs - which are still totally sellable and nothing to be ashamed about.

I am not a design snob about designers, because to me you should create what you are proud of, so I would never want a designer to feel that their best was another designer's worst, but I am a touch particular about my taste of materials I like to create with - again, personal taste. So, my taste may be different to yours but I am sure that is the truly exciting thing about the digitial format - you can have a wide variety of styles and reuse them and make them to your own for your own private pleasure or fridge face. It's just great, paper based scrapbooking would just not be achieveable or really enjoyable to me, as I would be very limited with materials and the costs with processing and we haven't even mentioned actual "craft" nouse - to which I am not really endowed with. I cannot sew and struggle to cut in a straight line - but I can certainly crop. *wink*

 Oh my, look at me jabbering on - It is 5.40am and tonight I have done only about seven freebies
because I have been talking to you, imaginary blog friends of mine.  I have had a blog before which was about my mental health, it got a little bit too popular and people I loved started to go to the blog to see how I felt without asking me anymore or putting their own spin on what I said or more often what I didn't write about them! It is nice to have an outlet that is not so heavy hearted and demanding of my real life.  I am an open person and it's not always a good thing - especially as the Internet is here for a long time and so is my words.
I am sure you will get to know me, I just tend to touch people (not physically, that would be a tad weird!) and things just come out - kind of like I have already stated about my mental illness. So, if you just want the freebie information, you may be a little frustrated until I find out a way and a level of balance.
You can trust that I am real, I am genuine and that I have a huge heart. I may only keep my identity and direct access closed because somehow it ends up controlling what I then write, as not everyone likes the truth or I should say, my feelings about things.   Tell me if I you think I am giving a little too much identifying things away because I am hopeless at it.  No really, I am.  I am just not a secretive, planning type.  But, I also want to have freedom here too, to be able to just have a fun blog and be silly sometimes - and yes to take freebie hunting a little seriously but for the sake of fun, of sportmanship and comradeship with other freebie hunters (I know you are out there, I see your names!!!) The moment this blog or idea stops being fun, I will have to reconsider, but I am really hoping it will be a fun place, a little bit kooky and a whole lot of warm fuzzies and intelligent discussion too.  That's still pretty much a description of who I am - and I am so pleased to meet you.
