Where does one begin a blog? Since the title of my blog is Carol's collection, thoughts and memories, I can begin anywhere that I want to begin. I am an avid collector of things (my family says hoarder) but I cannot give away family photographs, heirlooms, or downsize. I've attempted to downsize, but just finding myself adding more to my collections. I also like to plan and start projects. The problem is, do I ever finish them, or just store the supplies to make said projects? Let's see if I can stick with this blog as a new beginning, or will this post be the only one that I make? Let's see, what are my hobbies? I like spending time with family, but I enjoy my alone time too. In fact, I have an office, studio, or junk storing space, but that's where my computer and creative juices flow. I have stored in this very small room boxes of family photos, genealogy books, framed family photos, scrapbooks, and scrapbooking supplies. What things do I enjoy doing? Spending time in the above said room, cooking, reading, scrapbooking, visiting cemeteries, collecting, and antiquing. I also love anything historical!
