Welcome to THE COOLBOXUK SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s my first entry into my brandnew blog – and like with all new things, this is really exciting, but also awkward… What shall I talk about???

Maybe I should tell you the story first of how this blog came to be named. Most of you probably think that COOLBOXUK is rather an odd name, but actually it has been one of my “labels” for quite a long time, and started for a reason. That was several years ago when I first got into crafts on the Internet and wanted to join my very first yahoo group, one to do with card making. I jokingly asked Sean to help me find a user ID for me and he suggested “coolbox”, because I complain about feeling cold all the time unless it’s really boiling hot! To my surprise, somebody else already had that ID and she turned out to be a lady from the US, so I added the “uk” and off it went… I have since used that same screen ID for all kinds of groups and forums, so if you ever want to look for my stuff (for example in some of the links given on this blog) just look for “coolboxuk”!!!
I think I’ll leave it at this for today. I’m aiming to write something here at least once a week, if not more often, because my idea behind having a blog was getting in touch with my friends again on a more regular basis. I do hope you’ll enjoy hearing from me this way – especially because there is the added advantage of seeing things as well because I intend to upload photos and scrapbook layouts along with my ramblings (like the one above which I made specially for he occasion).

It would be great if you could leave comments whenever you pop round, either via the blog or the usual email and I'll get back to you!!!
