The 411 | Getting to know me

1. How long have you been blogging? And what got you started on blogging? Has your blog changed?

I've been blogging since 2008.  I started my blog when I started my graphic design business in 2008 doing only wedding monograms. That is all I posted for quite some time, a couple of years. Blogging  has lead me to most of my graphic design business which has been great. Since becoming pregnant last year, in 2011, and having my baby girl in March of this year, I am now blogging more about being a first time mom, but I will continue to blog about my designs as well. I am looking to network with other bloggers as well.
