“Life in the Craft Lane with Mandie”

I enjoy helping others, even if it’s just a free graphic, I like to bring a smile to someone’s day!

I started Life in the Craft Lane with Mandie in Early January 2008, when I was trying to find Clip art and backgrounds with a Country primitive theme for Myspace layouts. There was a very limited choice out there to create My myspace with a Country prim layout. So I decided to start my own blog and create graphics for Free to help out other’s in the same position!

Of course it has grown into more now, and I offer a variety of graphic freebies.

I normally create something everyday and post it to my blog.

During the Summer I try to post at least 2- 3 times per week. I am a WAHM and want to spend as much time as I can with my daughters in the summer while school is out.

I also have an Etsy Shop called H.B. Corner Found under user name hbcorner ,where I sell affordable Etsy banners, business card designs, etc..

I have several, maybe more than several, LOL

I have my Favorite blog links listed on the side bar of my blog so I can easily stop in for a visit.

Just be patient and learn your way around the navigation of your blogging tools. Everything is editable, so don’t ever worry about messing something up and just have fun doing it.

Yes, they sure do. I even had my local News Station find my blog awhile back. Now, that was pretty exciting!

I typically blog very early morning or before I go to bed from my home office.

I spend about 10 minutes per day posting to my blog, and another 25 minutes stopping in at some of my favorite blog spots.

No, I sure don’t. I typically visit and find blogs by word of mouth or through links posted on blogs I visit.

Hmm, I think the first blog I ever read was Niki’s Ventures.
She always has Crafty and Quilt pattern freebies posted !

Imagination , life, and my surroundings. I have had a very active mind for creativity since I was very young.

Yes, I have a Website called HollyberryCorner.com with Vinyl Lettering and Character shapes for Homes and Business.

My husband, Yancy and I also work together on PrimitiveCrossroads.com helping the crafting community get their online craft shops noticed in a Craft directory with free advertising. We are currently helping over 450 websites. It’s a lot of work, but we love every minute of it!

I have met so many wonderful people through blogging and cherish everyone of them. Some have inspired me to be more creative and others have lifted my spirits on a dreary day. I can only hope that I have done the same for someone else!
