   I am so happy that I started blogging. It’s such a great way to find other creative people and to show off your creative work. About a year or two ago I never thought I’d be blogging!

   I started blogging at first to get our (husband and self) custom pencil drawing site, “seen!” When you have a regular site…it is soooo hard to get traffic to it. Then I realized blogging really gets the traffic (still with effort, I know) for free more so than regular sites. I had to pay many times trying to get that site seen. Well, I started blogging that site then I realized I enjoyed it and made my own subject matter on myself being Thrifty and being and Art Teacher…had to throw in the “Creative” and together you have Thrifty and Creative and I just find it fun.

   Our art site: http://www.PencilPerfectArt.com We still have it but will resort more to Etsy as people are more likely to buy from a site they know. We have sold on Ebay also.

   I first started blogging over three years ago as a way to document my homeschool adventure. That journey ended but I loveed the connections I made with people so I have continued blogging on and off over the years. Now I see it as a great way to also document memories of our everyday lives and I kind of wish I hadn’t deleted those older blogs…

   Honestly I started mine, to maybe try to make a little extra money. Being a Stay at home mom , I thought I could, it’s not easy to do like you said. But it turned out that I really like writing and creating stuff for my blog too!

   For me blogging is a creative outlet…a way to create something that won’t get eaten right away!

   I began blogging to promote my online ebiz boutique and ebay stores. I grew to enjoy blogging, and now have a WAHM blog and a fun blog. It’s also a way to express my thoughts and opinions without having to worry about being censored in any forums! Ta Da! Being a Baby Boomer, I have lots of opinions!

   Hey. Don’t forget that it’s a fun way to have an impact on other people’s lives. I love knowing that a piece of advice I provided came in handy for someone or that something touched someone.

   I started my blog as a way for family that lives far away to stay up to date with the happenings in our household. Blogs also work great as personal journals, I can go back and find out dates of when my son did something memorable.
   I love to blog, it’s great therapy, even though it’s an addiction as well.

   I start blogging so I would have something that is just mine, not my kids and not my husbands.
