It is an honour to be featured this week with other bloggers over 50.
on Katherine's (Of Katherine's Corner fame) 'Between The Lines Blog Series'.
To coincide with this, I thought it would be a great opportunity
to share a little more with new readers and my wonderful followers.
When did 'Mia Bella Passions' blog begin?
It all began in September 2012.
I managed to crash my blog twice in the first year, while learning about widgets, buttons and HTML.
I also learned very quickly how to resuscitate a crashed blog!
Thank goodness for bloggers who write about blogging!!!

What does Mia Bella Passions' name mean?
Mia Bella is Italian for My Beautiful. (I have Italian heritage ).
And Passions - well, I have so many passions for so many things.
It was just the obvious choice!

Why did I start blogging?
For years, several of my friends commented, 'You should share what you do!'
Then, during a very low time in my life of multiple surgeries, when I thought 'I would never work again', I knew I could still create, craft and bake, that is when I decided to start the blog of sharing!
Who takes the photographs on your blog?
In the first few months, my daughter took the photos.
But she moved to a new town for work, so the inevitable happened.
I picked up a camera and have not stopped clicking!
Photography has become a huge passion for me.
I then discovered how to create inspirational quotes...
Yes - you guessed it....yet another passion!
How much time do I spend blogging a week?
After once thinking I would never work again, I actually work 5 to 6 days a week now. Blogging is only a small portion of what I do. I'm also an artist, do photography work, and have a multitude of hobbies. The biggest joy for me as a blogger is 'inspiring ' others by spreading love and positivity via art, crafts, DIY, baking, decor design, and beautiful things!
It's real. What you see is what you get.
I am sharing the creative side of my life with my followers. I like to keep anything too personal away from my blog.
Apart from my personal health journey, I hope that may help someone else that may be struggling with arthritis.
Mia Bella Passions is all about sharing what I do day to day.
It's all about the inspiration, positivity and creativity.
And just in case you were wondering - yes - the grey hair is real! I haven't dyed my hair since age of 45.
I love red lipstick! I love 50s fashion!
Being an individual is very important to me.
And being 50 certainly does not stop me rocking what I love!

That's a little of the Mia Bella Passions story...
