New Year's Resolution #1 -- Create a Blog -- CHECK!

DONE!  with 2 hours to spare.  Figured out how to create a blog!  You CAN teach an old dog new tricks.  New Year's Resolution #2 -- to keep up with it by regularly posting inspirational quotes, sites, stories, ... and other FUN stuff from the Indie Owl ..... cause Life's a HOOT!

First inspiration, Loran Scruggs and her one-of-a-kind Bottle Cap Tin Whistles.  Can't wait for my shipment to come in and you'll be able to purchase them at BottleCapCreations.  For now, check out Eric Beug's video featuring Loran in her studio.

I got my inspiration this week, to begin, from the MomsofFaith Blog:  Faith and Business 101.  Link here.  THANK YOU Marilee, for the verse of this New Year's Day: 
 

Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3: 13-14
