People keep telling me that my home page should contain more of what this site is about. That's kind of hard to do since I've included so many subjects here, so I guess I'll give you a little history of how this site grew.

I started the site with the intention of opening an online store but found out that I'm not a sales-person. I can't lie, cheat or give out some junk that I don't believe in. I also learned that an online store is a big undertaking and consumed much more time than what I had available since I work full time also. The other thing I learned the hard way was there are many, many scams on the internet if you are trying to start something online. That's how most of the people who get rich online make their money by selling junk to poor saps like me. The other big problem is hackers. I have had many sites that I've started hacked and have lost all my time and money that I invested into them which is very discouraging. I never set out with the intention of getting rich but did have the idea that making a little extra money would be nice. Well, enough whining, on to the rest of the saga.

I started with home decorating because I love trying to find inexpensive ways to make my home unique, fun and feel like a home. I then decided to add arts and crafts since most of these ideas are do it yourself. That, of course, led to my husband's upholstery business. He loves to teach and thought it would be great to include and I agreed 100% so we added the do it yourself upholstery (plus it doesn't hurt to advertise his biz some).

Anytime you start talking about home decorating, the yard always comes into play. I have a black thumb, not a green one but flowers are one of my passions so I decided that as I learn to landscape and garden, I might as well include that too. Japanese gardens are always so beautiful and I became fascinated with Bonsai trees. I just had to share that so another section got added. Are we on overload yet? Not me because I go a thousand directions at one time.

When it comes to working in my yard, we have 3 large dogs, so certain cautions have to be followed (you know what I mean)!!! I have always loved animals of all kinds and hope to one day have a small petting zoo for children so they can learn to care and love animals as much as I do. OH NO, here comes a pet section. Can there be more?

I spent over a third of my life suffering from an eating disorder and was lucky to survive. I spent years in therapy and different treatments. Through that time I learned that I had a passion for life and living that I didn't know was within me. My husband convinced me to share my recovery and experiences with others online in the hopes of helping someone else recover as I did. That has been one of the most rewarding things I have found, working and talking with other people. This added alternative health and now the affirmations part.

In my quest to help others, I tried so many different internet options that were rip-offs, not what they promised or they wouldn't back up their guarantees and return policies, I added the work at home section. I don't want other people to have to find out the hard way like I did.

I think that pretty much covers what's on the site. I know it's not the recommended type of site to have because they say to create one that is about your passion. My problem is I have too many passions and in learning more about one I discover another. Guess I'm making up for all the lost time I spent with the eating disorder.

Anyway, I like it just the way it is and I'm trying to organize it so it's easier to use. I'm also adding an additional site for all the things I couldn't figure out how to do with this one which will be up and running soon.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the site!

Have a wonderful day!
