It's all in The Name and my celebration giveaway

I am participating in a challenge post with 

Karen of My Colonial Home

what a Wonderful idea Karen 

if there is one thing I love to do is to get to know the Bloggers I follow

I love visiting blogs, sometimes you feel like you are walking into someone else's home

sitting down and having a chat, So much Inspiration, So many wonderful things to share

Blogging has certainly become one of my favorite past times

So my Answers to Karen's Questions

I started my Blog August 17th of 2009

You can read that post Here

At first I was lost and not sure just what to do, until I visited other blogs and begin to learn

so much more then I thought I could ever do. I Still seem to learn something new almost every day

And I am sure I could improve on my writing skills but hey

I am just being myself, sometimes I manage to bore myself so I thank you for sticking 

with me through the boring posts LOL

The Name of my Blog.........well I kicked that idea around for awhile

I had not been on line for so long, and I had been really missing

my Store I had in Texas, our move back from Texas and closing my store was

Not something I wanted to do, so I opted to keep my store name and to 

use it, since I finally had the chance to get back online again

Being that I wanted to get back into selling online and was not sure 

where to sell at or just what I was going to do, I thought I would just 

make my start using the name I would be known by

The Rusty Thimble

A Name my hubby gave me, since I was always looking for or asking 

him to bring home anything Rusty he would find

I mean some gals like shiny stuff me I prefer RUST!!!

So be sure to jump on over to Karen's post
