Day 1 - Thirty Days

Day 1-Introduce, recent picture, 15 interesting facts

Welcome to Day 1 of my 30-Days Blog Experience! I hope you'll join in, and if you do? Please leave a link in the comments.

All of my blog posts are under the name Becster, but my real name is Rebecca (when I'm in trouble) or more commonly, Becky. You'll get some more information below, but this is the place I can share with anyone, where I don't ramble on about Trek or boyband things, and it's one place where I'm free to be me. Not the online, fannish person, just me. As some of my profiles say: 'Wife, mom, musician, writer, scrapper. Not always in that order.'

15 Interesting Things About Me

1. I'm a native Miamian. That's rare these days.
2. I'm the only one in my family that was born in Florida.
3. I'm a Trekkie.
4. I've been to a number of sci-fi cons but never dressed up.

Brighter Days Ahead

In the 5 months that I've been involved in digital scrap booking, I'm met some truly lovely ladies from all over the world. Some are scrappers like me, others are the designers whose work I use to put life to my photographs, both old and recent. One of those designers, Zoe Pearn, is also the designer of my current blog layout.

It has come to my attention that her home was one of the many that were destroyed in the recent flooding in Australia. Her friends and co-designers have banded together to create a special scrapping kit in her honor. Brighter Days Ahead will be available until February 15th ONLY, and all profits from the sale of this kit will be donated directly to Zoe Pearn.

You can see the kit here, and you can see her house here.

Thanks for taking the time to read, and thanks if you are a scrapper and can help out.

Six Word Saturday! (1/15/11)

My six words for today:

This cold is kicking my butt.


Not exactly the way I'd like to return to blogging, but it will have to do for now.
