I see many people have blogs....I have been wanting to create a blog for myself for a while but don't know how to go about it...I want to primarily use it to showcase my home decor projects..drapes and Romans, etc..any advice/guidance would be appreciated...

google offers free blogs. you need a google account, that's simple, like yahoo or similar. then go to blogger.com and you can create a blog, I have one set up but don't have anything on it yet! good luck and let us know if you get it up and running

Yes, you are right, I think....these windows I did for a relative..for her little girl...it actually looks worse in the photo but this is what my cousin wanted...it is definitely not one of my favourites...I was hestitant about including that photo alltogether..but thanks for the compliment and the critique...
