It’s Friday, and I’m at the Savvy Blogging Summit in Breckenridge, Co. Actually, it’s Tuesday, and I’m desperately trying to get a few posts written and scheduled to go up while I’m at the Summit. So basically, this post is a blindfolded shot in the dark, with only a little info to help me know where to aim. I’m at the Summit right this … [Read more...]
Purse Clutter
I found this in one of my many boxes of random things. Any guesses what it is? It’s a salt and pepper shaker to carry in your purse. It’s meant to be used when you bring your lunch to work, or go on a picnic, whatever.
