Resourceful...


People tell me I'm resourceful. I think I'm resourceful, too. I get this resourcefulness from my father. He can figure out a way to make anything work—it's because he's a farmer. So, I get it honest.

When it comes to ideas, I often hear myself saying, "What if we..."

So, as I start a blog—which I have felt much peer pressure from friends to start—my aim is to share ideas. You know, the "what if we painted it blue, or what if you turned the couch in the opposite direction, or what if we used fishing line..." kind of ideas. By the way, I will share my fishing line creation tomorrow in my second blog!

Welcome to my blog, Resourceful Amy. I cannot tell you today whether this will be short-lived or if it will be my new favorite thing to do. Besides, to make a plan would only rail against my spontaneous nature. I only know that I do not want to sit at my computer for hours when I could be living life with people I enjoy, so I will be attempting to keep this low-maintenance. But the thought of sharing creativity, ideas and resources sounds like a lot of fun to me.

By the way, I had nothing to do with the above picture. But I'm not above it, I once briefly considered duct taping my headboard to the roof of my the old Camry in an effort to move into or out of one of the many apartments in which I've lived. After all, resourcefulness is all about making what you've got work.

Tomorrow!

P.S. Leave a comment. It'll make me feel good.

Amy, I love you so much and I am not the biggest fan of blog sites either so I totally understand where you are coming from. I always knew you were creative... remeber all those Up Til Dawm Meeting where we had no $$$ and we had to plan an event for 500 people... that is resourcefulness...
Love,
Farrah
