Or you recognize her name from the list of sponsors who’ve donated something to HJ’s anniversaryContinue Reading
ASKING FOR YOUR HELP Okay, I try not to use my blog to tout my personal writing, but…in some cases exceptions beg to be made. Today I found out some information that makes this one of them. I’m looking for a little help and support. I’ll forever be indebted toContinue Reading

I have to give credit to Autumnforest for the inspiration for today’s Friday Fun. Recently she got a Flip cam that she’s been using to film all sorts of things she’s been putting on her blog, like a sort of Haunt Jaunt she made with some friends, including the lovelyContinue Reading
