First Post

Let me first say, I'm horrible at blogging. I have a livejournal that I rarely use. I could post a million things but I don't. However, I'm determined to try again. And I like the layouts and design of this site, and the fact that it's through google, which is what I use for my email, so let's try again.

First off, let me introduce myself :)

My name is Katrina and I'm turning 25 this year. I'm working on a Masters degree and credential in Early Childhood Special Education. I live with my family: Mom, Dad, Sister (turning 18 this year O.O). The love of my life and I have been together for almost 8 years (next month!). Although we aren't married, we're closer than ever to it. We've been through a lot this year but I believe we're on our way up now. We've gotten through the hardest stuff, and now it's just doing some cleanup.

I love art in all forms. I have recently (since last Halloween) started doing Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) and Altered Playing Cards (APCs), which I will probably end up featuring here...at least the ones that I'm really proud of.

I don't want to talk about my life on here unless it's about something positive. I got stuck in a rut of negative complaining on my LJ and I want to start fresh.

The title, btw, is both a reference to Wizard of Oz (one of my favorite movies/stories of all time) and to Jason and I. I've collected pandas since I was 12 and I have over a hundred of them in all forms. Jason's favorite animals (when I pressed him to choose when we were first together) are polar bears. So, since we've been together, we've represented ourselves as a panda and polar. :) Anyway, hopefully I can post pictures in this blog so that it isn't me just rambling on. Hope someone actually reads this sometime. I want to create a positive atmosphere to share this journey we're all on. Let's take things one day at a time and grow and develop into the best people we can.

Best wishes to all and see you in the next post :)
