Hello Everyone!

I am starting a blog to continue "Jan's World" in a more public setting. Folks who have received my many potluck and events emails, know all about Jan's World. Now, anyone who happens across this blog and reads it, will become aware of it as well. Whether or not that will be a good or a bad thing, I will leave to the future.

Because I frequently forget many aspects of Jan's World, myownself, perhaps this blog will remind me of all of the blessings in my life when I can't bring them to mind in my very own head.

A new part of Jan's World is experimenting with new-to-me art techniques, since I don't know how to do much more than draw. I will be practicing my drawing, as well, since I have forgotten how easily I drew as a child and teenager. It seemed to just come to me, out of nowhere. I don't know where that channel is, anymore, but I hope to find it again.

I am interested in learning and "doing" mixed media art, art quilts, stamping, hand stitching and whatever else I come across as I peruse the many wonderful art blogs on the net! I will be using this blog to document my journey into this exciting but somewhat scary world of art.

This blog will continue the personal aspects of "Jan's World," including posts about my life, my friends and my family. I will also write about the random thoughts that pop into my head, as long as I find them interesting or amusing!

Welcome to Jan's World, family, friends and anyone else out there who happen across my blog!
