    Just one that I like on Etsy? *Sigh* Alright, I will choose “Wait”. :o)

    I own her piece “The Butterfly Catcher” (have had it for about 2 years now). Love it!

    I am already a fan on Facebook (AMG Arts).

    I don’t have a real blog at the moment (well, one on MySpace but nobody goes there any more) … would it count if I post something about it on my Facebook Fan Page?

It shouldn’t have taken this long, but I just we It shouldn’t have taken this long, but I just went bowling for the first time in my life! 🎳

I avoided it at first because it didn’t seem that fun. Then- because I didn’t know how to do it. But, this year I’m challenging myself to try new things. Even if I look like an idiot! Who cares?! 😃

Bottom line, loved bowling. I suck. But it’s fun! Who knew? Well, lots of people. But now me too! Also- it’s helpful to have friends that make you try new things and expand your horizons. Super grateful for mine! ❤️
