My first post

Well, I took the plunge and started a blog! For my first post I thought I would share the story of how I named it. I was struggling with creating a name. I kept trying to come up with a catchy phrase that incorporated a craft item but nothing was working. Then my new brilliant, creative friend Ted http://www.happilyevercrafter.com/ gave me some advice. He told me to think about my passions and use it in the name. My two great passions are family and crafting. I know you are all scratching your heads wondering what Toast & Jelly have to do with those two things but they are very connected. My Aunt introduced me to stamping and I fell in love with it. After I had my daughter (and felt like I would never be part of the grown up table again :) we formed a group of stampin' buddies that would converge upon her house for some late night crafting. Without fail we would end up snacking on toast and jelly!! I can't eat it without thinking about all the good times we shared. With this blog I hope to expand my group of stampin' buddies and create a warm, supportive environment to showcase my artwork.
