As long as we are walking down memory lane, we might as well take a peek into another memory . . . Drummer boy and I started dating as juniors in high school. Though we attended different high schools and lived in different towns, we managed to see each other a couple times a week….and talked nearly … Read More
It started here
Long before the scrapbooking craze began, I was doing my own “scrapbooking” using a three-ring binder – and construction paper, notebook paper & pictures from magazines. At 15 my heart had already been broken. By 16 I was trying to gain some independence and be all “grown-up”. Then Kirk and I started dating…..and falling in love. … Read More

Thank You !
This new blog design is the creative work of my friend, Mark. He worked with me over a couple days “figuring me out” (not an easy task) by reading my blog, then designing, re-designing and refining turned into this work of art!
