I had planned on taking a writing class this past semester, but just didn’t make it with everything going on?? A couple of afternoon’s ago I put writing list in the search box of Pinterest and hundreds of lists came up, I noticed I kept clicking through to the ones from Lifeoflovely.blogspot.com Most are on the daily bases and that’s just a bit much for me to do right now. But, I’m going to try and do this once a week….I’m going to try. I need to get a bit more structured in my day to day life.
WRITE IT WEDNESDAY
My Introduction: (I am doing new, not cut and pasted)
My name is Beth Ann, I am fifty-nine years old and living in central Florida, about 20 minutes for the white sandy beaches we all love and right on a golf course, that I have never played on, but it’s pretty. I was born and raised in Iowa and have lived in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and now in Florida, which I still can’t believe.
I have Husband, two boys, two daughter-n-laws and four Grands, whom all live an airplane ride away. We travel to them, a couple of times a year and I’ve made myself learn and USE text. I was home with the boys for years, working part-time at a library, the home office of a jewelry chain and then at a bank, Husband’s career took up to 10 different retail stores and banks are every place.
We live in a condo with all the things you think you will have when you move to Florida. I always explain to people moving to Florida is like going to college, no one is from here, and everyone has a story and just because people are retired doesn’t change their personalities to the good or bad. Once not nice, retiring will not make you nice.
Over seventeen years ago, I self-published by books, The Quilt Ladies Collection, each book on its own and sold at quilt shows. I added titles and quilts as I went. From all printed at home, to getting them printed in color by a printer to now all twelve titles available on Kindle and Nook, in one book. What a circle of events and how technology has changed everything. My printers cost was 5.95 for one book, sold for 8.95 and I now I sell all twelve for 9.99. It’s so crazy now it’s all changed. You see my tag line always and thank you for purchasing and supporting me through my book, The Quilt Ladies ONLY on Kindle and NOOK
After I had the books done I was teaching and needed quilt patterns of my own to teach with. Little Quilt Ladies Quilt Patterns were launched. I have since changed the name to The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop, just easier for me. The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop HERE for YOU
So, here I am, living in Florida, (I say again!) which I still can’t believe. Taking care of my Mom, Husband’s parents are here too and doing what I like and need to do daily. From this site here, www.bethanndoing.com and Facebook posts, to quilting, drawing, taking pictures, decorating and everything in between.
In a nut shell that’s me, Beth Ann, One Happy Lady !
