Show (-Off) and Tell



I'm really pumped to post this, because it is the reason why I started this whole, blog extravaganza!

Okay, let's be honest: it's a blog, not so much an extravaganza.

But, I would like to show you (again, let's be honest, show off) my most recent wallet. A good friend placed an order for a large wallet with made of shiny silver and plaid duct tape. I hadn't thought of that color combo, but it turned out quite well. Thus, this is what you can expect from any of the "large" wallets I make. Each wallet is 4" x 8", with a cloth-lined pocket for cash, seven cloth-lined pockets for credit cards or whatnot, and a slot to put an ID.

I'm Lame: "My First Post"

Hi there, oh marvelous audience consisting of no one!

I am Catie, but you can call me Gribbs--or Catie-- whichever floats your flotation device.  But I'm pretty sure your flotation device gets adrift by means of the sort of blowy, "wshouhhhh," I'm-blowing-up-floaties sound, so maybe just stick with Catie or Gribbs.

So I was an insecure nerd and read some search-engined searches on what to post as a first blog post. The interwebs told me to state my purpose or what to expect from my blog, so here we are:
 My intent in starting this blog is get some publicity for the duct tape wallets I sell, and the other products I make from Duct Tape and other craftsy things I do, while babbling on about my perspectives on life and such.

I've been thinking for a while now that it would be a really good idea to start a blog--that somehow I would benefit greatly from having my own blog--I mean, its shoving streams of my own words into the interwebs, how cool! But I never thought about what I was going to write.

"I'm gonna make a blog! I'm gonna make a blog! I'm gonna-- blabber on in the most dull bit of babble anyone has ever read".... So I applaud you if you've proceeded thus far. I invite you to comment and give me feedback on what I post here.

The composition of this post in a very out-of-order fashion because I realized I should give you a reason to read again another day when I'm not so cyberspacially green. I realize this mini-paragraph is rather non sequitur, but I think it emphasizes the lack of organization that reigned the writing of this post... and I really wanted to keep the phrase, "cyberspacially green."

Carpete diem.
