First I just wanted to say thanks. Thanks for listening..thanks for reading...thanks for caring. (in connection with my last post). Sometimes I write posts like that and then delete them..thinking it's not what people want to read. They want to read the happy stuff, but life is not all about the happy stuff is it? Sometimes we just need to be real and I think it makes us more "real" too, when we reveal things about ourselves. The blogger becomes a bit more real when emotions are added and I think it helps people to connect. I may never meet you, my lovely blog readers, some who have become friends through this vast world wide web, but just for a small instance in one day, a small frame of time, we connect. Just by you reading this...you have read my thoughts,and you have connected with me. Isn't it amazing? I have always loved the power of the written word!
It's Good to say that I am feeling a lot better!
Okay...you've waited long enough...
I have wanted to reveal my news for ages now and now I finally can...
For a few months I have been working on my very own website!!
At times I gave up, cried with frustration, drank countless cups of coffee, read millions of html and css tutorials, started over I don't know how many times, pulled my hair out and shouted:
"I am not a web designer, I can't do this!!!" and then half an hour later, sat down to carry on...determined not to be defeated!!
My love affair with html began about 4 years ago when I designed my blog (and redesigned it countless times -this was before the days blogger brought about gadgets people!! hee hee)
I guess underneath it all I am just a nerd, a geeky computer dork who loves code!!
I knew what I wanted my page to look like and the designing part was a breeze -as you know I have been a digital designer for a good 5 years now. But the work of getting those designs to make sense in code...well that was another whole story....
Determination and pure stubbornness is the only reasons why I went through with it!!!
So without further ado...I am proud {and a bit nervous} to announce my very own website, created entirely by me!!
Please bookmark it.
You will find links to my Etsy, my flickr, my blog and my shop. There is also a contact page.
I will still keep my Etsy shop open. And of course my blog will be around for as long as I am!
I am dying to hear your thoughts...your suggestions, your CC....
I am dying to know if it works in other browsers! oh I hope so! {I use firefox}.
Click on the image below to be taken to it!{and then pop back to tell me what you think!!!}
In the meantime I will drink a zillion cups of coffee and chew my nails to the bone in anticipation of feedback! Be kind!!!
yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Great job Bonnie! You are far more patient than I am with the whole html stuff...so glad you stuck with it and wishing you all the best. Fondly, Roberta
Superb job! Looking forward to more Bonnie-style inspiration. :-)
Well done on a brilliant job! It was very easy to click through to your other pages and they all look stunning.
I wouldn't have a clue how to build a webpage but have been trying to set one up with the help of a website and that was difficult enough! - hopefully will finish it soon! lol
