New blog site for me!

This is my first blog here on Blogger.  So I hope you will excuse any obvious blunders.
I have been on the Multiply site which will be closing in December.  I hate when sites do that, don't you?  You just get use to their ways of doing things like uploading pictures, changing backgrounds and so many more and then whoosh they dump their site.

It will take me a while to learn this site and any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

A little about me.  I am living alone in Michigan and have four grown children and six grandchildren.  I keep busy by doing volunteer work for the public schools in the mornings and working on my art and writing later in the day. 

This is one of my current projects.  It is a seaside picture that I am attempting to recreate from a phote that I found on the internet.  The phote isn't a really good one and I am struggling to get the background to look like the photo.  Perhaps when I have it finished I will repost.

Well I hope this blog takes....give me your thoughts and feel free to join my circle.
