I’m delighted that my long held dream of having a professionally designed home for my blog has come to fruition thanks to my incredibly talented and treasured friend, Kelli Standish. I have learned just how much time and effort goes into putting such a functional site together and I am so very grateful for Kelli’s unfailing care, patience and attention to detail. We have talked about this for many years and I’m thrilled with the result ~ thank you, Kelli!
I hope you love it too ~ be sure to look around, subscribe if you wish, and share your thoughts with a comment!
Hope to see you at the Debutantes’ Story Soiree on Tuesday night in the USA aka Wednesday morning in Oz!

Just wanted to let you know I’ve tried signing into Spreecast three different ways, and it’s not letting me get very far. I wanted to RSVP but it won’t let me.
I hope I don’t have issues tonight, I am assuming you are using Spreecast for it, so if you don’t see me tonight it’s because Spreecast isn’t letting me in. I’m normally not technically challenged, but it is just not letting me get past the screen “logging in”.
🙁
May 17, 2012 at 12:49 am
Oh, Marie – I’m sorry to hear that! Did you at least get to see it? I know a few people had trouble signing in but unfortunately it seems it was a Spreecast issue. I had to have all other applications shut down on my computer so I didn’t see this comment until now.
Hugs
