because you can’t get enough of us in person
So… months ago ansley set up this blog for us to share our stories and photos… we just never got around to actually getting it off the ground… I actually might have forgotten that it even existed (oops!)…
But if anyone can light a fire under my behind it is my sister – so here is the poignant and thought-provoking first entry…

Because you can’t get enough of us in person
We believe this to be the best subtitle / explanation piece for our blog for two reasons:
We are relational people and would obviously prefer to be sitting in our living room, at our kitchen table, or on our front porch with a cup of tea and a few friends: talking, teasing, laughing, and sharing our latest project (damn crafty baxters!)… but since we cannot be everywhere at once, we inevitably cannot always spend such time and share every moment with every person we hold dear and figure that this way we can at least share some nuggets in between phone and real live conversations.
We really do think highly of ourselves… okay just kidding – we really do not so much of ourselves but we certainly think highly of each other. As we have crossed the threshold into adulthood, obviously ansley is still crossing said threshold – lucky, our times together are fewer and further apart which means that we are going to use every means of communication possible to be able to share with each other – so I guess what I am saying is that this blog is our ‘in the meantime’ between skype, the phone, and the living room or wherever else in this country we reunite.
So we invite you to join us… we cannot say exactly what for because we do not know yet… we hope to encourage each other and the reader with writing or our latest artistic endeavors… just think of it as listening in on one of our conversations… joining us for cyber tea or for a cupcake… and we will see where this path leads.
Grace and Peace,
