And so it begins

Greetings and salutations,
I am Roving Jack and this is my first venture into blog-dom. I’m no expert and hopefully you can bear with me as I go through the learning process.
I figure the best way of starting this is to simply show you why I felt the need to start my own blog. And here it is.
http://firstgiving.com/rovingjack
That is the short version. The more detailed version goes something like this:
I’ve always enjoyed creativity and trying new things, ‘…a roving jack of many a trade, many a trade of all trades, and if you wish to know my name they call me jack of all trades…’, and I’ve always in particular been drawn to the arts and crafts.
I try as many as I can comfortably handle while trying to just survive in the rest of my life. But recently I’ve faced some truly hard times in my life and I’ve found that I need to be more true to that love of creating and exploring. So To tidy this intro up more quickly, I’ll just say that the first scary steps I took lead to bolder and more creative impulses. I soon discovered within myself a veritable garden of things I want to do and share with other. I’ve created a minisite and will likely create more as specific crafts and items of my design seek to venture out and be shared with the greater world. I’ve created a charity event to help raise funds for a worthy cause (and in my next post I’ll elaborate as to why I chose that particular charity) from my creative development. Soon I will be opening a store to showcase and offer the fruits of my mind and dreams.
I hope you will join me for part of the journey, and return to see me again soon.
As it stands now I am unsure how frequently I’ll be able to gain access to the public computer labs to post up dates but I feel safe in offering at the least the promise that by Wednesday July 23 2008, there shall be another post up.
Until then, take care of yourselves.
Roving Jack
