Hello blogging world! I'm not quite sure how to go about my first blog post, so I'll make this quick! A few quick facts about me:

• I'm right brained, so I suck at grammar and all that crap
• I'm not old and wise (or anywhere near being middle aged) which means I have a lot of learning and experiencing to do
• I have no idea why I just created a blog, but I guess it will be fun sharing my thoughts with people (when in fact, I'm probably the only active reader hehe)
• maple syrup, eh?

Also, my name is Millie, but in my attempt to be 'cool' and 'professional', I've done my best to think of a quirky alias. While researching non-stop as to what I would like my blogging nickname to be, I've come up with "Penny-Bee" which is now the name for my blog! The name "Penny" is sometimes used as a nickname for my full name (Millicent), coming from the 'cent' in the name. I thought that was cute, and since I love doing DIYs and finding inexpensive alternates for things (for say, just a 'penny' ;), it worked perfectly for my blog name! Also, a variation of Millicent is 'Melisande' and it is old french. Melisande is the French form of 'Melissa' which means 'bee; honey', hence the second half of my alias. Wowzers that is quite a stretch, but hey, if you want a nice nickname, you gotta do what you gotta do!
