What a day! Earlier today I was downstairs minding my own business, working on a tablescape for Tablescape Thursday. I came upstairs to look online to see if I could find a napkin fold in a particular shape I was thinking of using. Instead, I found a big ole UGLY Bluehost page where the Between Naps on the Porch blog is supposed to be. Not good! Apparently, the domain name came up for renewal and … [Read more...]
Shaking in my boots. Okay, it was more like shaking in my sneakers. ;) This morning I had the pleasure of being interviewed LIVE for the radio show, Spots and Spotlights, hosted by Lynne Ford and Bekah Shaffer. It was that "live" part that had me just a tad nervous but Lynne and Bekah are so wonderful, they quickly put me at ease. If you're here visiting for the first time, Welcome! So glad … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 220th Metamorphosis Monday! A while back I took you on a little tour of my home town. It was around Christmastime and the homes were decorated for the holidays. This house has always been one of my faves. It reminds me a little of the home in the movie, Father of the Bride. (You can tour that movie house here: Father of the Bride Movie House Tour) When I used this picture in a … [Read more...]
Welcome to the 214th Metamorphosis Monday! I have a fun and exciting little metamorphosis to share this week for Metamorphosis Monday. For a while I've been thinking about putting together a newsletter to send out each week to those Dearhearts who would enjoy receiving a little something extra from time to time. I finally decided it was time to quit thinking about it and just do it. Every … [Read more...]

Source How's that for a guilt trip? ;) Unless you've been stranded on a desert island the past few weeks, you probably know many Bloggers have made the decision to truncate or shorten their blog feeds to only show a short excerpt of their post. I didn't hop on the truncation train at first because I wanted to do a little research to learn as much as I could about how widespread scraping and stealing of … [Read more...]

To combat this problem, in the last few days, a lot of Bloggers have decided to publish their posts in a truncated format. It's very disheartening to pour your heart and soul into a blog post and have it … [Read more...]
