I thought it would be a fun follow up to do a WHY I blog.
Back here I started to blog because I wanted to share my scrapbooking. That was pretty much my soul reason for blogging.
Ironically I think that is probably the last reason I blog now.
I blog so I can share what I create. I love getting feedback on makes and I love seeing how my ideas have evolved. Blogging is a great cataloguing tool for me.
I blog because I like the community. I enjoy exploring other blogs, trying to make my blog better and more user friendly. I enjoy being so inspired by what you guys create and share. I love comments and commenting- this is partly where operation speak out comes in. I blog because I have connected with so many like minded people.
I blog as a form of diary keeping. Albeit a pruned, revised and more reserved form of writing a diary. BUT it is my way of thinking out loud.
This is my main one though, the biggy. I blog because I am recording memories. Whatever I blog about, be it craft or the boy or my general day to day life, I am recording a sliver of time. I can look back on that post and say "That is where I was at in June 2012".
I HATE some of my first posts but I'm glad I have them because that is me aged seventeen, like it or not. I feel lucky to have my words recorded to look back on.
I started to blog to share scrapbooking. I blog now to share and record memories. I think they are pretty much one and the same thing!
Why do you blog?

When I first started blogging it was just to share my crafty makes.....but it's far more than that now.
To make connections with other people who like to make stuff. I'm always a bit suspicious when I read someone saying that they they only blog for themselves and don't care if anyone else reads - doesn't ring true
I blog to share, to explore, to reflect, to remember and as a creative outlet.
Very similar reasons for why I blog too... To make connections, to hear feedback on the things I create, to record memories. I have always wanted to keep a diary, and tried several times over the years, but I can never make it work. Blogging and scrapbooking are the perfect combination for me to get most of my memories written down and safe to look back on. x
