Mount Mediocre - An Introduction

I started a craft blog once.
I also started a food blog with a friend.
Then I started a photog (photography blog = photog).

There are numerous reasons I have a hard time posting on any blog I've created.

- I waste time trying to make my journaling sound less than mediocre.
- I waste time editing craft and food photos because somewhere I got this idea that every photo a photographer posts has to be perfect.
- I fuss over whether or not anyone will like my craft, or recipe,
- or whether or not I picked the best photos to represent the shoot.
- I like lists. Do you think I'm posting too many lists????!
- I have a hard time doing what I'm told. This creates issues with posting frequently and/or in a timely manner.
- There's too much mommy, craft, and mommy crafter bloggers that are so much better than me.
- Food bloggers have amazing photos. My photos and my food are probably just average.
- The majority of photographers are better than me.
Do I really need to continue?

So here I am - laying it all out for you. 

Here's what you can expect from this blog:

• Posts that are just average, and will probably have a few typos because I'm not going to spend time thinking about what I'm writing nor will I proofread afterwards.
• Crafts I've done. Typically one that I started that day or (most likely) I started 5 years ago. I obsess over fun projects for a couple days, but if I don't finish within the week, odds are it's going in the partially completed bins. Yes, as in plural - bins.
• Recipes. Vacation tips. Etc. Most likely with mediocre photos and journaling.
• Photos I've taken. I can take pictures. But then, so can everyone else these days. I worry that I'm just another one of those people who picked up a camera and proclaimed themselves a photographer but really has no talent. But I like to take pictures. People keep paying me to take pictures. That's got to mean something (I hope). That being said, I don't plan on editing the photos that go on this blog. My craft room is a nightmare for lighting, and I don't care enough to fix that.
• Random happenings. Emphasis on random. My life is pretty mediocre, so don't expect much.
• The things I'm obsessing over. Products. Websites. People.

And all of this with no schedule whatsoever. 

The purpose of this blog is to be a journal for me and a safe haven for those who aren't a professional anything. Everyone might be making the same craft, but it takes time and I want a record of the fact that I actually finished/accomplished something! I want to remember those vacation tips, classes I'm taking, and the number of vehicles my husband and I can go through in a year. And hey, if you want to follow a blog where an average girl with an average life does average things, this is the place for you.
