GOING PRIVATE


Not really. I know you were worried.
But the time has finally come....I am taking my blog private. I'm feeling a little bitter and sad about it actually, because it's been such a great forum for reconnecting with old friends and getting to know new ones! I have so much personal information on this blog about my dear family. I have loved the idea of this being a forum to share ideas, projects, views, and comings & goings...BUT, it's time to not let the whole www peak at my life and children.

So, just send me an email (toushay73@gmail.com) or leave a comment with your email address. Friends of friends, family of friends, friends of family, you know what I mean...those that don't typically leave comments, and my daily, weekly, and monthly readers alike...ACT NOW, because...

by June 10th I will be Private.

update: And YES! I love it that my long-time and new friends' alike have friends & family that are reading...so just identify yourself through a private email or a 'note to shay' with your email address and I'll add you to the list so you can take a peak at will!


And yes, it appears that I 'stole' a copyrighted photo. All I can say is that the website let me save it... so finders, keepers. Maybe I'm the one who will be 'shot.'
