Every Child…

March 13, 2009 by Elaine

Just Spreadin’ the Luv

March 10, 2009 by Elaine

So I griped on twitter yesterday about how my blog seemed a little “ghost town-like” in the comments section. Seriously, I could here crickets chirping through my laptop.

January 17, 2009 by Elaine

So I was tagged for two different photo memes during this last week and unfortunately the first one is of me, on the evening I received the tag, in my jammies, wearing my glasses, sitting at my desk where all the “magic” happens. So now you all know how I look around 11 o’clock at…
