Learn alil more ABOUT ME with my TOP TEN list and brief summary of the blogs purpose

This blog is simply going to act as a GO TO location for my friends and family to check in on my lil happenings as they go on…whether it be everyday life, a new crafty project or scrapbook page, travel near or far and/or local or far away adventures. This will NOT be about work (either job) or MEN…anyone in my real life hears enough about both regularly!!

Take a look around and as always let me know what you think.
Big BIG Hugs,

ONE addt’l and totally unimportant thing you should know about me:

I truly believe that the combination of peanut butter & chocolate should be outlawed. I mean, just think about it, it’s a spreadable savoury breakfast condiment and a sweet afternoon treat … it just doesn’t make sense and will never cross my lips

Thanks so much for checking in,

Hugs, Carole
