can one blog with just words? let me rephrase, could i blog in a way that other people find interesting using just words? or, mostly words and a few less-than professional photos?

i am intimidated by all the beautiful blogs with the amazing photographs and crafty borders and tid bits that i read. i find those blogs so interesting and inspiring and at the same time they make me feel as if i have no reason to blog at all! and yet... here i am. i want to. i'm giving it a shot.

I'm calling my blog soapbox for sincerity because that's what i hope it will be, a place where i can express myself honestly, without giving thought to how i would like people to see me. Or perhaps i should rather say, a place where i express myself honestly, ignoring the thoughts i have about how i would like people to see me.

I am a creative person, and i believe God wants to develop my creativity. I feel pleased with whatever creative thing i've done as long as it was fun to do and either looks pretty or tastes good. i do not like it when doing something creative feels like work because... i'm lazy. there, i said it. no other reason. i just stop having fun when something creative becomes difficult to do, and having fun is my favorite thing to do. 

That's why i'm not going to try and make my blog look amazing, at least, i'm not going to try today. if i do, i might feel overwhelmed and give up all together. Hopefully, i'll (slowly but surely) rise to the challenge and create a pretty blog, but for now, here are my thoughts and the things on my heart, sincerely.

marshmallow-flower-cupcakes. pretty, yummy and super easy. perfect for a lazy but somewhat creative baker like myself :-)
