WELCOME to my blog!!

It has been approximately 2 years since I regularly updated, but recently I began missing my blogging. I have gone against "the rules of blogging" by simply naming my blog "Bridget's Ramblings". It goes against the rules because you are supposed to choose one topic that you are passionate about and write about it. Well, it just so happens that I become passionate about anything that piques my interest at any given point in time. My husband once told me my hobby is finding new hobbies.....I can't deny it!! However, I will say that my kids--currently ages 11, 8, 6, and 4--will always be a major topic you can expect to read about. Beyond the kids, my current secondary interests include running and biking....gardening will most likely be the next topic to grab my attention. But, the one thing you can count on is that I will undoubtedly ramble on about whatever I find interesting.

My head is spinning

I'm so bad about getting myself in over my head on new projects! I decided to look around the web for ideas on page layouts for the digital scrapbook---oh boy am I in trouble now!! I've spent the past 1.5 hours playing around with digital image editing software and doing searches for learning how to begin digital scrapbooking. After all that I STILL haven't the slightest clue where to begin.

I think my problem is that I forget to start with baby steps. I see pages that other people have done and I immediately want to jump in and make mine look like that. Problem is that it takes a lot of technical knowledge. For now, I'm guessing the best place to start is find a template to work with and go from there. Maybe play around with it in paint shop pro to get a feel for how it was created. That's probably the best way to learn something......take a finished product apart piece by piece working my way backwards.

So, if anyone has any ideas on the best way to really get into digital scrapbooking--beyond shutterfly's premade pages-please let me know. Most of you reading my blog have my personal email so feel free to just send an email.

For now I have to go.....looks my 2 hour window of quiet time has ended. Gotta love naptime!
