Name Game

Happy Hump day, well this is the day I`m taking Karen from My Colonial Homes post challenge on how my blog name came about.    So here goes.........  One evening in the winter of last year I was searching the back pages of the Country Sampler directory,  wanting to find a few good primitive sites when I happened to find one,  well,  I was reading the post when on the side there was this blog list,  what the heck is a blog,     clicked on one blog and boom, prim heaven,  she was decorating her cozy primitive home for Christmas and showing pictures of rooms full of so much prim goodies.   I was so thrilled,  clicked on another blog name,   again,  wow,  here was this person showing me her beautiful home and the crafts she was creating, OMG!!!!  thank you Lord.     So from  one blog I just kept going,  entering the blog name in my favorites to see what they were doing next.     I  found some of their emails and began to email some gals  and some were so so friendly,  emailing me back, encouraging me to start a blog.      Oh ya,  I had just recieved a laptop the following year for Christmas so I was still learning,  how the heck was I to start a blog.       So one afternoon my girlfriend popped in and I started to tell her about these great primitive blogs I found  and  showed her a few and she said,  you can start one,  say what!!!!!!!   so thats how I started my blog with her help, but........... now a name.       Since I love everything primitive I wanted that in my name as well as stars,  have a thing for stars to.   I said Primstars,  well she started to laugh and said it sounds like Pornstars..... I agreed, so that was out, no thank you.     She said  why not Primitive Stars, ya, I liked the sound of that,  so that is how my name came to be.     My first post was March 11th  2012,    I was so so nervous,   what do I say,  will anybody read my lonely little post on this new prim blog.     I didn`t know how to put pictures on so it was a bit boring ,  by my third post I had my very first comment,   oh boy, was I happy,    it was from such a dear sweet blog friend,   Carol from Buttermilk Creek Farm,   she had helped me many a time with how to do things on my new adventure into blogland.   Thanks Carol,   now I even have followers and such wonderful friends who comment and read my daily life going ons.    I cannot thank you  gals enough for being there to listen to my ramblings,  my life has become so much richer and  fullfilled,    this has been one of the best things I have ever done,  creating a blog and making so many great friendships in blogland.   I admire so many of you who work, craft, do it all and still have time to share your life with us,  I find such joy in  reading your blogs,   I`ve cried,  laughed  and prayed with many of you,  once again I thank you from the bottom of my prim heart,  Warm Blessings Francine.

  16. Hi Francine,
    Love your story!! This is a great way to meet so many great folks.
    Now I will have to get out of my mind "pornstars". That made me giggle. I would never have thought of that but luckily your friend could see the possible problem!
    Enjoy your day and thanks for sharing!

  18. That is a nice story about you came to be blogging. I love reading about that. You are still new and you are doing great! Thank you for visiting my blog these last few days. I laughed about how your name was almost primstars. I guess it does look that way. I remember my first post was going to be about my chicks that had just hatched and I wanted to all it hot chicks, because it was 113 or something like that day. Then I thought maybe I better not.
    It is so nice to meet you,
    Kim
