Introduction – Who I am

Deborah is my full first name, but I usually go by Debi. According to the Urban Dictionary, Deborah means:

A truly beautiful and charming person who is intelligent and the most fantastic lover. The name Deborah is of Hebrew Origin and means Queen bee and the beholder of beauty. Her intelligence might overwhelm you at first but you’ll soon be reeled in by her sophistication and charm. The name Deborah is generally given to those who sustain beauty throughout their lives and live life passionately.

Sounds about right to me, LOL 😛

There are many kinds of poetry out there.  Some rhyme, some don’t.  Some are simple and some are more complex.  Poetry deals with emotion and is often full of symbolic language.

An Autobiographical Poem, or Autobio Poem, is personal.  It may or may not rhyme, but it follows a simple pattern of 11 lines that reveal the following things about the author:

1. First name
2. Four descriptive traits
3. Son/Daughter of…

Hello there and welcome to my blog! My name is Debi Pruyne. I’m an artist and the owner of HootOwl Handicrafts. I started this blog in the hopes of sharing lots of interesting and useful information related to art and handicrafts.

I am new to blogging and thought a 30-Day Blog Challenge would be a good way to build my own blogging habit and also for my readers to get to know a little bit about me. So, this month, I am hosting a 30-Day Blog Challenge.  What’s that, you say?  It’s a challenge designed to give you a jump-start and get you (and me) blogging each day.  I have compiled 30 topics or questions, one for each day.  If you are like me, and need a little nudge, then join in! You can jump in anytime.

Blogging should fun and relaxing.  This challenge is meant to be motivating, not stressful and there are no judgements here.  My rules are simple. 

1. Write a blog post every day.  It can be as long or as short as you wish.  It’s up to you.
2. If you miss a day, it’s not the end of the world.  Don’t try to catch up, just pick up where you left off the next day.
3. Have fun.  Add pictures, videos, songs, poems, whatever you like.  It’s your blog.
4. Leave me a comment below, along with a link to your initial blog post.

Here’s my list, so let’s begin!
