Got a name, now get typing...

I've been thinking about blogging for a long time, but just one thing stood in my way...thinking of a name. I went through some truly awful names (from the pretentious to the tenuous to the downright odd) and thought I'd hit a brick wall and the damn thing would never get off the virtual ground...

Today, though, I sat down at the computer and inspiration hit. I'm halfway through a craft project that was born out of seeing something beautiful and imagining what, with a bit of patience and know-how, I could turn it into. I added my imagination to it hence: Imagination Added. Not too complicated a story really, but its what I do. I see a nice button, add imagination and it becomes earrings; find a bit of fabric in the back of a cupboard, add imagination and it becomes a t-shirt, belt and brooch; have some creme-de-cassis that needs to be finished before moving house, add imagination (and pancake mixture) and create a delicious dessert; find a too-small dress in a charity shop (full story to follow...), add imagination and it becomes a skirt!

I've always been a day dreamer (as my doodle-covered notebooks will attest) but most of my ideas tend to get written down in the aforementioned doodle-books and forgotten about. Recently, though, I've done some mental knuckle-cracking and whenever an idea comes to me I've tried my best to follow it through. And I've discovered that, cliched as it might be, the only limit to the possibilities is my ability to imagine what they could be...

Lets see what happens...
