Year at A Glance...

 Wow!  When you sit down and really look at what's gone on in one year, its enough to make me take a break and smile of course!  I thought it would be fun to look back at this last year and highlight some of the things we did here at Chalkboard blue!

February was when I started building my blog.  I was blogging behind the scenes.  I had not launched it yet.  Still working out the kinks!

Oh and did I mention I have some big ideas planned for 2013??? Did I mention the word Demolition??????  Watch out!!  Cross your fingers for me and wish me good luck!  

I love you all, thanks again.  I really appreciate it!  really!!!

Have a fabulous new year and I wish you all the Best!!

As always, 
With Much Love & Gratitude,
