  • Revisiting My Blog..............

    Been ages since I have checked in......! I have mixed emotions, sad that I waited so long to check back in, yet excited to begin doing something that I enjoy. As you know my blog is done with pictures to tell the story, so I have to get my computer set up to do the work, because I don't have my laptop anymore. So, stick with me and soon I will return to my life in pictures. Can't wait to return!! See you soon! Nicki!
