My name is Judy and I have an Etsy shop called 20 North Ora. Today I am starting a blog of the same name.
Do you want to know where I got the name for my shop? It was my parents' address at my only childhood home. Good memories there.
My mother was the quintessential homemaker. When we came home from school, she had hot homemade cookies awaiting me and my three sisters.
Fast forward many years later. First thing, I am not my mother.
And I not only allow my beloved Bella on the bed, she also sleeps there.
So now you know a little bit about me, and I want to get to know a lot about all of you. I'll end this first post with a few of my favorite things.
Till next time, Judy
Your debut! The first of many! Welcome to BlogLand, my dear friend!

Welcome to blogging. Great pictures and your dog is so pretty on your bed.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to meet you, Judy, and visit your new lovely blog! Bella looks like a sweetheart... she reminds me of my parents sweet dog, who incidentally is named Belle. :-) Looking forward to getting to know you!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love your gorgeous wreath.
Brenda made me come over and check out your blog.
ReplyDeleteShe threatened to do to me what she did to herself if I didn't visit you.
Welcome to blogland, where everyone is nuts!
Hey Judy - welcome to blogland - you'll love it! I have met so many wonderful people here like Brenda. You are such a good friend to Brenda so I know you are a wonderful person too. I will look forward to following all your posts. J
ReplyDeleteSo glad to meet you, you have been such a sweet friend to Brenda - thank you for that! Those of us who love her but can't be nearby are so thankful for all you and your husband have done to help her. Your blog is lovely and I look forward to more posts. Hugs ~ Mary

Welcome to blogland Judy!! You know, I've been calling you "Saint Judy" to Brenda. God just knows how to put people together in life! Your blog looks beautiful, and I'm putting you on my sidebar right now, xo
ReplyDeleteI am your newest friend and follower for 2 reasons, okay ~ maybe 3. Firstly, you are a friend of Brenda, and anyone who is Brenda's friend is a friend of mine. Secondly, your dog sleeps with you and my dog Bentley sleeps with us every night and has since he was a tiny pup. He's part of the family of course. And finally, I think you show great promise and it will always be a pleasure visiting you. Welcome aboard and stop by anytime for a visit. My gate is always open to you.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley

Hello! You and I share a few of our favorite things! Your mother sounds lovely, and your pup is so kissable! Welcome to blogland!
ReplyDeleteWelcome, welcome, welcome Judy.. You are so much more brave than I am to have started your blog. I will be interested in following your posts.
ReplyDeleteI will tell my daughter what your beautiful furry friend's name is. She is a devouted Twilight fan and all I hear about is Edward and Bella.. If I had a dog it would be most welcome on my bed too.
You are very talented when it comes to making pillows. I love the ones I've purchased from you.
You have been a loyal and devouted friend to Brenda and I'll be so glad when the two of you can get back on the road to "junking" and enjoying KFC.
Good luck and enjoy your new endeavor..
Blessings,
Charlotte

ReplyDeleteCheers, Andrea
Welcome to the land of blogs. Sure hope Brenda warned you that blogging is addictive.:)
ReplyDeleteSo lovely Judy. Welcome and I am sure we will see some real gorgeous stuff from you. I know you are so very talented. I love the garden statue and all the greenery rambling about it.
ReplyDeleteYay, Judy! You made it! I will add your blog to my favorite places, both on my current blog and on the new WordPress site.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you've joined us, my friend.
