My very first post on WordPress at Sprittibee.com – can you believe it?
Seven years ago today, I started a blog on the internet. I started it with some silly beatnik poem that had the word ‘dude’ in it. I didn’t even post a photo. I had no idea what I was doing. {Some days I still think I don’t know what I’m doing.}
Just wanted to thank you all for reading my blog and being my friend… for comments and tips, tweets and likes, taking time out of your busy life to share mine. {You bless me!}
Tomorrow I’m leaving little baby bees and big teen bees behind – all four of them – for the first time, and heading out to a blog chat mini conference at my friend Lisa‘s house. I may not know what to do with myself – and might wander around looking for the diaper bag – without my kids tagging along as they always do.
After that, in my spare time (which is an oxymoron for this homeschool mom), I’ll be working on cleaning up this blog and making a home out of this great space that Amy Bayliss and Lisa Boyd have provided me. Aren’t they talented? You can find out more about my snazzy blog designer pals at DIY Ministries. They ROCK.
Be patient as I tweak and categorize. I lost every category when we moved to WP. Fine with me. I wanted to do some “spring” cleaning that was about 7 years overdue, anyway.
What a fun blogiversary present – a new nest on the net!
{Welcome, friend!}

Congratulations, Spritti! I remember over a year ago reading about your desire to move to WordPress! My new art blog is on WordPress even though I may or may not know exactly what I am doing at times:) I try to play it safe and stick to the twenty Eleven theme for now, until I can get a blog designer that knows all about HTML.
(When I first started blogging I thought HTML stood for some sort of FBI secret code:)
I love the textures you used in your photos! So pretty!
