My name is Melanie, better known as blue on the net. I am a 47 year old born and bred Nova Scotian with NL roots. My Father was from Carbonear NL and my Mom from Stewiacke NS. I am a high school and Bible College graduate. I am married to a wonderful man, Curtis for nearly 25 years now. I have a son Matthew and a daughter Sarah, who is no longer with us; she died of SIDS in 1988... Sarah's story can be read here. I have worked in the hospitality industry for the last 30 plus years as a cook/baker. I play guitar, sing, and love any kind of craft on the go. I love a good party and to have a good time. When my son went to college, we got our computer an went on-line an I have been hooked ever since LOL I gravitated to Newfoundland forums/kitchen and have met many wonderful people. I sometimes feel like a bird venturing into territories unknown at times, but who said you couldn't teach an old dog new tricks...hmmm maybe I'm a bird dog .LOL but the way I flick around I'm more known as the "blue arsed fly" LMAO I soooo love my psp and creating. I find it challenging learning website building and coding and having my site to play with what I am learning is so much fun. Sharing what I have learned and my art makes me smile. So here you will find an archive on things I have learned, and tuts I have written. If you have any questions, just ask in the shout box or contact me anytime.. xox blue/Mel
