hello there!
ReplyDeleteI'm shy about having stuff 'Out There' every day, but it also seems like so much fun! I CAN believe you guys started with a selfie..and can't believe it! hahaha
http://www.daradines.com/2/post/2013/12/the-art-of-witnessing11.html
*I'm hoping this is how i would link it directly to the post..wasn't sure..
Wow.. came here through Christel and just today I was wondering what to fill my new wordpress blog with.. it's still ver, very bare.. a friend of mine helped me through Teamviewer how to start with it.. so besides the daily blogging, you'll probably see changes in it throughout the month. Depends on how much I start understanding along the way ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to seeing how it all works!
