My First Blog Post

I've finally decided to start a blog to document my digital scrapbooking adventures. I love fairy tales and used to read all the fairy tale stories I can get my hands on at the library when I was younger. That love for fairy tales is still with me now that I'm grown up. I discovered digital scrapbooking in late 2009 and love everything about it. Digital scrapbooking allows me to bring the fairy tales in my imagination to life. How fun is that?

Alex's everyday adventures are full of spirit and love of nature. It is a joy to come along and join Alex in his adventures. Through the eyes of a child, every day is an exciting adventure. 2-18-10.
