I Am Honored To Be The First BON...

Hello and welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere!

Grab a cuppa coffee, sit back and take a look around. Stay a while! I am happy you are here!

I am so very honored and humbled to be chosen as the first

~* Blogger of Note *~

at Words of Wisdom !!!

Please allow me to introduce myself.....

That's me...Kristen

...and that is usually where you will find me, behind the lens of a camera. I am not a photographer, I just play one on my blog.

I started blogging back in November of 2005. Yep, I have been at this a long time. But truth be told, for much of 2006 and 2007 I was a terrible blogger. I really got in to it in 2008 and have been loving it ever since. My blog is pretty much just like me: random, wordy, colorful. You won't find a theme to my blog.  No topic is off limits to me...I jump from light and fluffy to deep and thought-provoking and everything in the middle.

Some subjects you will see pop up over and over here:

* My dog. My furbaby! And he is very frequently a photo subject as well.

* My husband and our crazy, loving, tight-knit, and did I mention, crazy, family!

* My creative obsessions...I mean, pursuits.

* My love of being a New Englander

* My love of the seasons (especially autumn) and holidays

* Gardening and books and magazines and travel and entertainment

* Whatever random thought happens to be occupying my brain!

I love blogs that are random. I love blogs that are personal. I love blogs that make me laugh, make me think, make me learn, make me grow. I strive for my blog to be this way, too.

As part of being the BON , I have been asked to pick out three of my favorite posts to share with all of you today. This was hard! I know this sounds so conceited but in going back through my archives I found a lot of posts I really either enjoy and/or are proud of. But, I managed to narrow it down to three:

~*~ Happy Birthday Bailey ~*~

 This is one of my most favorite posts for two reasons: 1.) how freakin cute is my dog?!, and 2.) this is the main reason I chose this post...once you get past the pictures I wrote about a subject VERY near and dear to me, animal rescue.

~*~  Thinking Of My YiaYia Tonight ~*~

My love for my family runs deep. Super deep. We are a small family and extremely close. I cried my way through this post when I first wrote it, and it is one of my most treasured posts I have ever written.

~*~ The "Other" Man ~*~

The first two posts were kinda deep and I wanted to you all to see my silly side. I still get comments by email about this post, especially from my crafty friends. 

I hope that if you enjoy what you have read so far you will be inspired to check out some of my other posts!!! And please visit WOW often....I mean, every day!!! :-)
