Am I here yet?

Hi everyone! I have been trying to get the hang of blogging since the end of August and with the help of pamtru over this w/end I just might have it!
Anyway, I am really anxious to get going on this project, and I have my plan already and set to go---I am so happy to be among all you creative people and looking forward to seeing everybody's work. I was so impressed with the entries for the 2007 BJP and can only imagine how spectacular 2008 will be!
Just to announce myself--my name is Barbara, but my co-workers years ago dubbed me barbiq. I am an ultrasonographer and I work full time and I try to unwind by beading and quilting in my spare time. I live in northwestern Connecticut--very woodsy and picturesque although I was a city girl originally from Hartford, CT--a small city but a capital city just the same--and I still work there. I hope to touch base with some of you if not all in the near future. So here's to a very interesting and creative year--can't wait!!!!

Welcome to BJP. You will find this is a great bunch of beaders who are willing to share ideas and be supportive. Glad you are with us.

It looks like your blog is off to a great start. I had never blogged before this project and am amazed at what I have learned. After a full year of blogging I decided to watch the tutorial videos and they really helped, especially with the placing of the photos.

Yours, Susan

Hi Barbara!!!
You did it - you are blogging! I never did this before last year either, and you will be amazed how second-nature it will become...
