This is my first ever blog post! It has taken me weeks to get up the courage to put something together. Nothing like being a little (alot) pissed off to energize a person - I wonder why that is?
Let me introduce myself - my name is Tina and I'm 50 years old. I am married and have been for 28 years. I have two beautiful daughters that are 23 and 18. I also have a granddaughter who is 3. When God gave me my girls they stole my heart and they still have it today and always will - with the grand baby, it is even worse - but all in a good way :)
I started this blog for a way to reach out to people, perhaps selfishly at first, but maybe we can help each other. I know there are others that have gone through the things my family has or perhaps I will be the one to offer insight on a dilemma. To me it is constructive to see things through another's eyes because I know there are times I have blinders on (especially with my girls). I need a voice - a public voice - to relay my thoughts, prayers, dreams, hopes, anguishes, triumphs, troubles, and to yell every now and then.
The "durt* to ruffles" title is a tribute to my youngest daughter. She was diagnosed dyslexic in high school. It was a high school joke (will be discussed in another post) that she spelled the word dirt as "durt". The durt* to ruffles is to show off her success; how she went from durt to ruffles. She will enter college this Fall 2011. I am very proud of her. She is a treasure (I wish she believed that as much as I do).
Our goal (daughter and mine) is to have a little boutique someday. We both have always been creative and we love arts and crafts, sewing, fashion, antiques, junking, etc. We hope to put something together and have a funky little shop, maybe in our local downtown area. The shop already has a name.......................
durt* to ruffles !!
I hope you will join me in this journey - although it might get a little bumpy sometimes!!
