Tell Your Story Contest - My Story
I just came across this fun opportunity to tell you all even more about me and how I became a Steemian! Head over to @varunsangwan's post Tell Your Story Contest to check it out! The contest is over in just a few hours so be sure to check it out and join in, ASAP!
Your Life Before Steemit?
I only joined Steemit a mere 22 days ago! Then, my life was much more productive off of the computer... I actually hadn't opened my laptop but once over the last six months... until now! Haha
I made projects for the property and gardened more. Haha are my priorities messed up now? I'm not sure! I guess they're skewed a little! I'm going to have to get better at delegating my time on and off of Steemit.
How Were You Introduced to Steemit?
I guess my husband, @smitty, has known about Steemit for a while now but kept it to himself. He told me about it and I was immediately intrigued! He is into cryptocurrencies and wanted me to look into and join the Steemit scene!
What's Your Channel Topic?
Me! Well okay, stuff AROUND me. I blog about homesteading, gardening, my chickens (Guess what?? I got my first egg from them the other day! Finally!!), ducks, geese, and my dog. I'm blogging about my experiences here on Steemit, sharing helpful tidbits. On my blog I always talk about being honest, genuine, and as transparent as I can with my followers! I want them to know who they're supporting!
Your Hobbies and Interests?
I have so many... I actually have a post in the works talking about being a hobby hopper. Haha. Right now my interests lie within being a homesteader and all things that encompasses that... But I also have been known to draw, craft, sew, cook... I don't really love cooking tho. So REQUIRED. haha. But sometimes I like baking. I am more into drawing though. It's not really something I do during the summer because I've got so many better things to do outside in the warmth. I'm actually surprised I am able to sit here and Steem cause, the sun beckons.
I love using Prismacolor Colored Pencils the best, I think!
I also like gardening flowers. yeah, veggie gardening is great too, but FLOWERS. Flowers are so gorgeous. I just love them. I've been working on identifying wildflowers and plants on my property. I think it's great fun to also identify all the bugs and birds that visit. Which is why I have the little series called Nature on the Farmstead that I share educational bits on the birds, bugs, and plants I find around my property.
Butterfly bush flower. :D
Your Best and Worst Experiences Here?
Being here has been really great and I can't say yet that I've had a real terrible experience!! Which is like, unheard of for the internet! I don't have anything bad to say about the joint at all!
I guess the best thing to happen so far is meeting like-minded people! I have already learned so many things about so many different topics! It's astounding really!
However, the real gem is the community Steemit Blogger Central, @steemitbc, that I happened upon just a couple weeks ago! Best thing since sliced bread! Been such an amazing group of supportive and knowledgeable people! Steemit is special that way!! So many giving and caring people!
Life After Steemit?
Now, I am very excited almost all the time about all of the possibilities that Steemit has suddenly afforded me! I have met such wonderful people!! I can't even hold in my excitement about it! Working with some friends on the @steemitbc project and helping lift other people up in this world of Steemit has been very satisfying. I love being able to learn from other people and share my own knowledge!
I better submit this before it's too late! Thank you to @varunsangwan's contest: Tell Your Story Contest for this real fun offering! I can't wait to read other people's entries!

Good to know more about you. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to reading more of your posts.
Ah thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and leave a comment! Imma go look at your stuff now!
Very cool. Nice to know more about you and your farm. Guess I should do the same but fear I'll be to late for the contest. Great post. Now I have to do one. lol
There's still 10 hours!!
Good to know you
This is my story😁
Thanks for stopping by!
Such a nice way to encourage people to share their story and so lovely to hear more of yours! After seeing your content on other platforms, it almost seems like all of that was just training for here on Steemit no? Or steemit was made for you? Either way, it is nice to find the good folk with the great info. Great idea, though I think it must be finished by now. maybe next time I'll give it a go.
I THINK I finally figured out who you are. narrows eyes - Hahaha.
Maybe it was training! Hahahah
There's still ten hours left on the post!! :) Maybe just make an entry just in case!
Thanks! (replaces moustache drawn on finger)
Better keep that 'stache on! ;)
I don't even remember how I got here....Its been that long. But sliced bread is amazing!
Bwahahah you and your great gifs!!
They say a pictures worth a thousand words, so a gifs gotta be at least double that
AT LEAST!
Nice to know more about you. You really have picked up some skills in you post lay out, well done. It all looks very profesionale
I'm still figuring a lot of the posting tools out but i'm getting there.
Hope you well and I know what you mean about managing your time on steemit...lol can run away with you a bit : o)
uv'd and resteemed
Well thank you!!! Can I help you with anything?!
Do you have any questions about what I've done here! I'd be happy to tell you!!
lol yes every thing : o)
Like how did you create the links to your other posts ? without putting the link on the page .
Hehehe okay.
Use this code without spaces by the brackets or parenthesis :D
[ insert name of link here ] ( copy and paste link to post here ) - Simple as that!!
Here's a good resource I like to use! when I need to figure out something!
It accepts some HTML too!
I use the website http://wri.pe to make all my posts and format prior to using the editor here on steemit. It gives a preview also. So I am able to pre-write posts and have them saved there.
OH MY GOSH..thank you so much for that !!
You're still on the THL community list as well, but i have been so sick I haven't had the chance to launch it yet. I will be doing the first membership post tomorrow so i hope you like it, we have 40 members now ...yay : o)
I didn't know what was going on since you deleted the post about it that I resteemed?!?!
Yes i had to, I made too many mistakes with it, so i just posted a new one that was more in line with what the community was about. I didn't have time to re edit it and I was worried i would not be able to edit it before steemit froze me out.
I gotcha.
Nice join my contest to :) https://steemit.com/contest/@btc.ctb/free-20sbd-contest
Thanks, I'll check it out!
Steemit is so addictive. It's just to easy to get caught up in everything and next thing you know you're glued to the laptop. Great post, congrats on the chicken egg!
Haha it is really addictive but it feels healthier than FB somehow........ Hahaha
hehe I'm so glad to be able to read up more about @farmstead's origins :))
Never heard of gardening being split up into flower gardening and veggie gardening..though it does make a lot of sense :) I guess I'm just that far away from being in any deep gardening discussion that goes beyond..'wow such a huge zucchini!!!' or 'yummmy cherries..I can really pluck some?! heh heh'
Six days ago??? How could I have missed it (again)? I'll give you an upvote anyway, not too late for that, but I guess I missed the contest. Never mind, I'll just save my story for later.
Hahah whoops!
