Jane of All Trades

It hit me this morning... the focus of my blog: Jane of All Trades!

I grew up in a household where Dad came and went at the same time every day. The responsible breadwinner. Mom stayed home to raise the kids. In her spare time, she explored her many talents: floral design, teaching, quilting, sewing, gardening, decorating, cookie baking. A few of these talents turned into careers. Most turned into crowd pleasing, head turning "how did you do that" hobbies.

Since I graduated from UT Austin, I've jumped from one career to another: PE teacher, volleyball coach, camp counselor, floral designer, event planner, landscape designer, seasmtress, product designer (and in my next life, a fashion stylist for girls on a budget). For a while, I felt flakey, indecisive, non-comittal. But recently, I decided to embrace my many passions! I've tried to spend a little time with all of them. And this morning, I decided, why not BLOG about them!

Here's how it happened: While sipping my morning coffee, I was reading the March "Real Simple" magazine and there's an article on most popular blogs. It hit me, if I can't change careers every week, why not post about my eclectic passions in my blog! Whew, now I'm focused...and I'm well aware that I'm turning into my mother!
