Just got the notion to give away some of the old backgrounds. All the ideas, creations and toying I’ve done over the last four years with this blog. Some of them I do love, but just don’t fit with my theme, or focus, or feel I want now.

So Mom, been thinking lately of a switcheroo within my living space. Rrrreallllyy pre-occupied lately with it. Currently, I have my floor plan laid out in a pathway through the furniture like a horseshoe. Great Grandma’s dresser, with its wavy old mirror, greets you at the small foyer I created with my wicker divider.

On that January night if she had not showed up at our door, if she had not run after her old owners car, if … Continue reading A Dog Named Irish

And now abideth faith, hope, and love, even these three: but the chiefest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 It was 3:30 AM and my legs were aching. Just finished two full out on the go day’s at work. Difficult days. Stressful days, filled with many complicated puzzles. But good, real, real good. I work with a team that makes it, a dare I … Continue reading Her
