Hi! I'm Wendy Copley and this is my introduction post.
I'm a long time blogger, writer, and photographer and I'm excited to give this new platform a try.
Bento Boxes
One of the main things I like to write about is the fun bento-style lunches I pack for my kids. I've been doing this for over TEN(!) years now and I still love it. I even wrote a book about it!
Scrapbooking and Card Making
I'm also very interested in scrapbooking and card-making and I'm planning to share my creations here. For the past year or so I've been memory-keeping in traveler's notebooks. I like this smaller size and I find them easier to store than the giant albums I used to make. Here's a sample of one of my layouts:
I also enjoy making handmade cards with stamps and markers. Here's a card I made for my son's last birthday:
Bullet Journal
I started bullet journaling to keep myself organized a looooooong time ago. Five years ago, to be exact. Since then, I’ve been more or less devoted to it at various times. I find that my planning is pretty sparse during the summer months in particular. But like so many people the new year always gives me a spark of organization and I always recommit to my planning ways.
This year when I rededicated myself to my Bujo — as we bullet journal obsessed refer to it — I took a few minutes to think about how I wanted to use my journal. In particular, I’ve been looking for a place to do more sketching and painting and I was hoping to be able to combine that with my daily planner pages. I've been having a lot of fun creating decorative bullet journal spreads the past few weeks and I'm hoping to share some of those here as well.
Momming
As a mom of two boys, I find a lot of my life rotates around them (duh!). I'm certain some of my momming adventures will show up in my posts.
Video
Recently I've developed an interest in making instructional videos and vlogs. I've been creating videos for quite a few years on and off, but over the past few months I've been enjoying honing my videography and editing skills and I've set a goal of making a video every two weeks or so. You can view my YouTube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/c/wendoloniavideos I'm hoping to share my videos here as well.
That about wraps it up! Thanks for reading all the way to the end.

Welcome to Steemit!
I'm looking forward to your bento ideas and I have always wanted to make my own postcards but never found the inspiration to do so, so I am thrilled to see how you will do it :)
I'm sure you will fall in love with the platform. I would suggest you to engage with people and communities to gain larger audience and build relationships. Once you do it you will be fine here :) There will be days with high rewards and days with low rewards.. don't get disappointed or frustrated..
I'm sure you'll be doing fine and I'm looking forward to seeing you around! Have fun!
Have a lovely weekend!
Thank you, delishtreats! I've been trying to find more people to follow, but I'm having a hard time locating people who share my interests. I'm sure they are out there though!
What kind of people are you looking for? The easiest way to find someone is to look at specific tags. This should help..
Awesome thank you for joining the Steem platform and taking your time to introduce yourself.
If you need any assistance on how to use Steem feel free to contact the community members.

Else, I want to wish you good luck and plenty of success on here.

Welcome to Steem! I'll be checking out your book, thank you! Years ago my children began asking for bento style lunches after they viewed an episode of 'Cooking With Dog' on Youtube. They love creating the themes and showing off their lunches to their friends. 😁
Your Rick and Morty card had me cracking up! With your creativity and fun ideas, I believe that you'll find many writers in the #life, #tasteem, #food tags that will share your interests.
