Hello World!

This my first post to any 'blog. I have been thinking about it for a long time and just decided to go ahead and try it! I was/am worried that it may be a little pretentious, but I read other people's blogs and feel like I get to know them a little. It's a little bit like being a wallflower then finally joining the conversation!
My name is Sara and for anyone who doesn't know "suenos" (technically with a ~ I'll have to learn how to type that!) means "dreams" in Spanish. (And yes, I do actually SPEAK Spanish) I am a divorced, mother of 1, nurse for 21 yrs who is beginning to think about what to do with myself now that my daughter is almost grown. I have always enjoyed creating art. I took several classes in college, but all that was put on "hold" to raise my dd. She turned 18 in April and graduates high school in 2 weeks I think I've done a fair job w/her. It's a tough world!
So now I'm starting to think about ME again, and I've really missed being truly creative! I used my creative bent to create some scrapbooks and for the last 6 yrs or so beacame a rubber stamping fanatic! I love the personal art blogs that I see and , as I said, decided to dive in to the conversation. I love that peiople don't always stay on-topic too. I love to garden, I love my animals (dogs, cats, rabbit and we recently "lost" our horse), I love music, museums and art. I love doing things with my family and anyone who may end up reading my blog will be reading about these things too. I love photography and taking pics of my family, animals, garden and activities-you will probably see many of these. I will have a hard time keeping it down to my favorites along any art postings I may have. Part of my purpose in creating the blog is to keep me motivated to create things to put on it-to compare to what else is out there. I plan to try to post weekly(?) for now. I hope some one finds it interesting!
"Every journey begins with a single step"-right? Thanks for being a part of my first step into this new world! May Jehovah bless you and keep you safe!
