New to blogging

So my dear friend Amy has been hounding me to get my blog going. To be honest, the whole thing looks intimidating...I have no idea what I am doing or even if this post will make it on to my blog! So please forgive me if this ends up looking amaturish or ugly...it reminds me of when I first started scrapbooking, those first scrapbooks are so embarrassing! I guess that I will learn (and copy) as I go. So here's to my first attempt at blogging!
