Just a Layout...

Did this layout today. Went nuts with distressing. I was a little upset when the paper ripped the first time. Then, I realized that I really like the look!
Headed to Halloween in the Dark at HersheyPark. Will be back later this evening with my first real blog post in f0reva!

I'm Back...

Guess it has been months since I posted last. I am alive. I am well. I decided to just delete the old and start anew.
Had fun scrappin' my blog header and coming up with a new name for my blog. I love using song titles. This one just seemed to fit.

Will post another blog soonish and let ya'll know about things in my neck of the woods. Hope all is well :o)
