Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! I never really know how to start these things...so I figure my very first post should be about me...who I am, what I do, what I'm into. My intention is to have this blog be about my crafty side. I want to share ideas and things I make with others who are passionate about the same things I am. I've seen a TON of great things on Blogger, and I've got a great deal of admiration and inspiration from many. I haven't decided if I'll create another one as my personal blog. I'm new to this, so we'll see where it takes me.
First things first. Welcome to All Things Joyous! I'm Joy, and I'm 36. I live in Milpitas, which is in California's great Bay Area. I'm a full time Project Specialist working for a gas line manufacturer. I've been employed with the same company for 14 years, and I really enjoy my job. I'm engaged to a wonderful man who I've been with for 13 years. We don't have kids yet, but he has a 20 year old daughter. I have one sister, who has recently made me into an auntie for the first time. I absolutely LOVE my niece! Her name is Brooklyn and she's almost 9 months old. She is just the cutest little thing! I'm also a HUGE fan of NKOTB. Yep, that's right...NKOTB. New Kids On The Block. I've loved them since I was 14, and I STILL love them! Since their reunion in 2008, I've been to 8 concerts and on 2 of their cruises. I've even met them 5 times! I've been called obsessed, a groupie, and even crazy, but I've met so many wonderful people through the NKOTB reunion. It's been a blast!

I consider myself a full time employee and a part time crafter, and I really hope to change that. I LOVE to craft, whether it be scrapbooks or cards, flower pot candle holders or beaded bracelets. I find it therapeutic and just plain fun! Right now, I make things as gifts for people, but I'm hoping to open an Etsy store by Thanksgiving. I search Blogger for inspiration and new ideas, and I watch a lot of YouTube tutorials to learn different techniques. There's so much out there to learn, I just can't wait to try it all out!
And there you have it...me in a nutshell. I'll post pictures of some of the things I've made before, as well as some of my cards I've just done. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope to make friends with many of you soon! =)
Cheers!
Cheers!
