It has taken a long time to get my head around beginning this blog but today is the day it all begins.
Please bear with me whilst i learn how to use all the widgets and gadgets that are available to us Bloggers. I am a little familiar with this type of thing after building my website from a design template, this website has now ceased due to my health taking a serious nose dive. Hence why, after over six months, ive decided to begin a blog and take things from there.
So what has prompted me to begin blogging from today? Well...a good friend of mine (Ann) recently founded a support group for Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Giant Cell Arteritis here in the good old North West UK. A link to my pinterest board is here which will help you to learn what these conditions are

I popped along to her first support group in March, which was very well attended and hugely clear that lack of local support was clearly missing. We even had two ladies travel down from the Keswick area as they have no local support group near to them. So..anyway...with me being a success on Twitter i offered my services to Tweet for the support group so that we can build up the profile and offer help to those in need who suffer with #PMR #GCA (forgive my hashtag use but this helps for when i link to twitter). We began the Twitter account on monday june 3rd and have already gained 180 followers. The twitter link is...

My personal twitter is https://twitter.com/ArtisanGaynor To help promote the support group and raise its profile i began a bracelet giveaway. One lucky tweeter who follows the support group account and retweets our tweets will win a gorgeous handcrafted bracelet...a photo will be added tomorrow but it will be very similar to this bracelet shown here which i made for a lovely lady a while back.

So...this is it, im now a blogger.
Here you will find my mental musings, photos of my creations, photos and links of things that amuse, inspire or empower me. Or even just because i can. Once i learn more about Blogger i shall add my pinterest link too where you can follow my other addiction...pinning.
Thats it for now folks and hopefully i shall get better at blogging and make you smile. laugh our loud and provoke some responses. Do feel free to offer your help and advice on how to use Blogger because i shall be eternally grateful.
See you all again tomorrow with the bracelet photo.
Gaynor x
