Color me reluctant, but ready...

This blog has been primarily about the comings and goings of the Bay City General Store and Lodging and the characters that pass through our little slice of paradise here on the Ohio River. And Lord knows that is enough to fill one blog for a lifetime! However, the Bay City General Store Ledger is branching out this year and entering the world of arts and crafts. See, we have been window peeping into many blogs around the world to see what other folks are doing to decorate their homes and stores, what they do to fill any spare time they may have, what inspires them and what gets created from that inspiration. And what we have discovered during this worldwide journey is that there is just an awful lot of us all enjoying much of the same with our own little twists and tweaks! So this year we decided rather than be reluctant to participate in all this artsy crafty goodness that we would plunge right on it. The first thing we have done is sign up for Kari Ramstrom's A Year of Color blog. It's just loaded with inspiration and there are bloggers connecting from all over the world and all for $12. The colors for January are blue and white and the following shadowbox/mixed media collage is our contribution. Now if we can just figure out Flickr and how to get this from here to there our day will be complete...
We hope you will stop by from time to time and see what is going on at the Bay City General Store - there is never a dull moment in this little spot on the road. You'd think with only 20 people what could possibly happen to make life interesting...........stay tuned!
