My Very FIRST Blog Post

Well, I did it. I made up my mind to enter the blogging world. I'm nervous about putting my thoughts, ideas, and words out there for the world to see, but I'm gonna do it! I'm excited about the process and hope over time I'll be able to share my love for furniture refinishing and painting.

So...if I haven't already bored you to tears yet, keep reading and take the journey with me, won't you?

If you are reading this there are a few things you should know. With that in mind, I created a "top ten list" readers should remember while following my blog (in no particular order):

1. I am not an English teacher, a professional writer, editor, or proof reader. 
2. Sometimes I ramble without meaning to and when I ramble I will stop myself and try very hard not to ramble on and on and on about rambling all while continuing on with thoughts that would involve rambling to some degree.
3. I am not the best speeler. I mean speler. Spelunker. Dog-gone it - speller!
4. I tend to repeat myself.
5. There. Their. They're. I do know the difference, but I might not always choose the right word.
6. The same holds true for your, you're, its, and it's.
7. I am from the south and my writing will reflect that just as my speech does. I hope that's OK with all y'all, bless your hearts!
8. Sometimes I capitalize words that shouldn't be. Other than a period at the end of a sentence I sometimes neglect proper punctuation and I often have no idea when I should start a new paragraph.
9. I tend to repeat myself.
10. Please re-read number one above.

So there we have it! Pretty simple, huh? Well, we'll soon see.

In my next post I will get to the business of sharing what prompted me to start this blog in the first place and that is my love for finding neglected, broken and worn out pieces of furniture and reviving them with a fresh coat of paint! I'll share some pictures of pieces I've completed, tell you how I did it, discuss the products I'm using, and share some funny stories in the process. Until then I can be found on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ChippedAndCharming.

Thanks for reading along and until next time have a blessed life!
