I'm posting in my galaxy! I won a contest announced by Cloth Paper Scissors editor Cherie Haas to find a better name for the unlovely word "blog." I always thought the word "blog" sounded like the noise your stomach made when you were feeling really rancid, so I agreed with Cherie that a better name is called for.
The word "blog" started life as a shortening of what it is - a web log - so at first I thought maybe "webbie" or even "webster" would be a better name. Then I thought maybe it should be much broader, because a person's web log does reach near and far, and someday maybe very far, so I submitted "Galaxy."
I liked it, and Cherie did, too, so I won a wonderful, wonderful assortment of mixed media supplies from Cloth Paper Scissors. I'm trying them out bit by bit, and so far I really love those Fiskars mixed-media scissors that cut through chipboard, canvas, plastic net and more. Look at all this great stuff!
