First Post

Hello all!  I am very excited for my first blog post even though I do not have any real content yet.  I want this to be a blog about what is in my life, what I am making, eating, loving, hating, what is making me who I am.  That is where the title of this blog comes in, Everything Gold.  It is based off of my favorite poem by Robert Frost entitled "Nothing Gold Can Stay."

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

This describes me quite well, as I move through life I pick up new interests and hobbies.  I make new friends and live in new places.  And that is all O.K., because everything new is gold (and I try new things a lot).  This means my blog won't specifically be about thrifting, baking, crafting, coffee, traveling, struggles, or anything.  It is what is gold in my life, what is new.

That being said what I do want to do is review products/tips/crafts/etc. that are on other people's blogs!  I have seen so many ideas on Pinterest and different recipes to make the same thing and I always wish there was someone like me who could comment on what worked and what didn't.  I would say I possess normal skill level at cooking/baking and crafting, which I feel is often what the average blog-reader has.  This way I can help those who are interested in crafting/making things know exactly what they are getting into before it happens.  I hope that you all enjoy this blog, I am excited to start trying new things already!
