A quick post before I head off to work. I haven't posted as often as I would like because I am still waiting for a media card for the camera. I lost the old one, ordered a new one from Amazon on Jan. 1, and didn't realize until a week later that the order had been cancelled because they were out of stock. So I had to reorder and it will be a week before it gets here because I chose free shipping (I'm cheap like that). Victoria thought I was all set and took her camera with her back to college.  I hate posting without something pretty to look at so I haven't posted. I'm improvising today.  So today I have a question to pose to you and an answer to some inquiries I have gotten. First, you may have noticed that there is a link to an advertising info page on my sidebar.  Now, in the past, I have been dead set against advertising. This is my space to do what I want with and I really didn't want to share it. I am not crazy about going to a blog and finding ads all over the place, but if it's a blog I really enjoy I go anyway. I mean, I understand the need to make a buck. Believe me, with a husband who is still looking for work and myself working part time, I understand. So now, I am willing to give it a try.  I have had some inquiries and decided to put up the advertising page. If someone wants to do it, great, if not, ok.  I am limiting the ads to 6 right now because I don't want my site plastered. I'm sticking a toe in the water, that's all. We'll see what happens. How do you feel about that? I would love to know, although I can't say it will change my mind. This is, after all, my baby.

I am having a huge problem with ads being placed in my comments section, I may have to turn on blog owner approval if it continues. I won't make you type in those awful codes.  It is a shame when someone hijacks a blog like that. I hope that you never reward it by clicking on the link.  In my opinion, anyone who leaves links to a business in a comment section is a jerk.  It shouldn't benefit them to advertise like that.

I also wanted to give you the link to the White Chocolate Peppermint popcorn you saw here.  I know that right now we are all on the diet bandwagon, but I had some people who wanted the recipe and I thought you might like to file it away for next Christmas...or whenever you have a bad diet day. So, if you want to visit my dear sis, she has the recipe posted here.   Go at your own risk though because this stuff is truely addictive.

Now I'm off to work.  I am working on a few things while I wait for my media card. I need to get some things listed in etsy and I am still working on a giveaway.  Ahhhh, I NEED that card, come on Amazon, don't let me down:>)
