Bento Boxes, Scrapbooking, Bullet Journal and Momming - My Intro

Hi! I'm Wendy Copley and this is my introduction post.

I'm a long time blogger, writer, and photographer and I'm excited to give this new platform a try.

Bento Boxes
One of the main things I like to write about is the fun bento-style lunches I pack for my kids. I've been doing this for over TEN(!) years now and I still love it. I even wrote a book about it!

Scrapbooking and Card Making
I'm also very interested in scrapbooking and card-making and I'm planning to share my creations here. For the past year or so I've been memory-keeping in traveler's notebooks. I like this smaller size and I find them easier to store than the giant albums I used to make. Here's a sample of one of my layouts:

I also enjoy making handmade cards with stamps and markers. Here's a card I made for my son's last birthday:

Bullet Journal
I started bullet journaling to keep myself organized a looooooong time ago. Five years ago, to be exact. Since then, I’ve been more or less devoted to it at various times. I find that my planning is pretty sparse during the summer months in particular. But like so many people the new year always gives me a spark of organization and I always recommit to my planning ways.

This year when I rededicated myself to my Bujo — as we bullet journal obsessed refer to it — I took a few minutes to think about how I wanted to use my journal. In particular, I’ve been looking for a place to do more sketching and painting and I was hoping to be able to combine that with my daily planner pages. I've been having a lot of fun creating decorative bullet journal spreads the past few weeks and I'm hoping to share some of those here as well.

Momming
As a mom of two boys, I find a lot of my life rotates around them (duh!). I'm certain some of my momming adventures will show up in my posts.

Video
Recently I've developed an interest in making instructional videos and vlogs. I've been creating videos for quite a few years on and off, but over the past few months I've been enjoying honing my videography and editing skills and I've set a goal of making a video every two weeks or so. You can view my YouTube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/c/wendoloniavideos I'm hoping to share my videos here as well.

That about wraps it up! Thanks for reading all the way to the end.
