Somehow, our TV ended up on the Ryan Seacrest special, Fashion Rocks. Not really sure why we stayed there. Maybe it was because Duran Duran started singing, and we were thrust back into our 80s childhoods. The next act to come on stage was Jennifer Lopez. I’ve been a fan of JLo since she was … Read more
I’m playing along with Blogger Idol’s Play-at-Home. This week, the prompt is to write about a Hot Topic in under 800 words and include pictures. A while back, I posted a tutorial on using Bitstrips.
