small snag in journal world...

So I have run into a problem with posting my journal page pictures. The ploblem is that although most of the content is alright for others to read but some parts are to personal to post. I will have to retake the photographs, and in the future be more mindful of my postings.

I truly do love this picture.

the morning passes into afternoon

So there is a prowler in my apt complex- basically behind my apt. I have been on high alert my 2nd round of suspicions... Aside from talking to the wonderful postal women who I have a friendly relationship with keeps me in the loop. I give here candy over Halloween, a little card a tip during Christmas, she gave me a card and keeps me in the loop about safety tips in the area. There has been more news... I got a message from the rental office and there was an attempted assault right on the trail behind my place where we walk our dog.

2 of my favorite things!

Watching Extreme coupons... I am trying to clip as many as I can and print off a bunch of things. Coupons are the jam. To be honest though some of the EXSTREME coupons people reck it for the rest of us. However I am clipping and printing away- not to mention the 2012 coupon book coming to me/us! Wow- so excited!

So got a bunch done today- the apt is clean! Heck ya! The bedroom I am working on, need to deposit money in the bank! Hit the post office, then hit Urban Outfitters to make some returns, world market returns, just doing the rounds. I am still working on the bedroom, cleaning and organizing. I guess I need to be getting to that now, I will blog more a bit later. My hope is to get my journals posted up- the issues that I am facing with that are of course editing photographed entries.

My shopping on Etsy

The holidays have been good to me. Although missing close friends back home and my own family, also the sad news of Wolf's death I still had a wonderful holiday with Sean's family. Surrounded by loved ones and friends- and a mountain of gifts. It has been wonderful.

I am also looking forwards to reseving a few purcheses I made on Etsy- Some beautiful handmade things! For very gifted and tallented women- I just had to post a cpl of pictures!

there was abnother dress I wanted but I was worried about the size. I will see how this fits. The women's Etsy cite can be found http://www.etsy.com/people/wildskin?ref=ls_profile. I did want to get down to busness interms of posting my journals.

Such a wonderful morning at the Kishbaugh's

Such a wonderful morning at the Kishbaugh's- Sean's father, brother,sister inlaw, Xena, and my love- and I just finished a wonderfull breakfast filled with presents, good food, laughter, and joy. Even though I get a touch quite and always feel a little silly They are all warn and welcomming. The day isn't even close to done, as we will be seeing Sean's Mom's side of the family around 3 and Holiday dinner at 4:30pm. <3 so happy.
