Happy Sunday, Aledan Merfolk! The merfolk part of you is really going to like today’s custom. Back when I first moved to Charleston I planned to get my masters in marine biology studying seahorses (but nuclear chemistry pays better), so when I saw today’s seapony custom I fell in love.

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! I’m happy to say that I’ve finally made it back into writer-brain, and I’ve finished just over half of Draft Three of StO this week!

Happy 2015 Aledan Merfolk! I’m back from my holiday hiatus with a new blog theme that’s as bright and cheerful as Erie the mermaid! After spending ten days in the car travelling to and around Michigan, Hubs and I are back home relaxing for the long weekend. We shook our fists at winter last night and
Happy Thanksgiving Eve, Aledan Merfolk! This is just a quick post to let you know I’ll be on a blogging hiatus for the rest of the year. I always forget how busy November and December are at work (who knew nuclear chemistry and retail had the same busy season?), so I need to focus all
Happy Sunday, Aledan Merfolk! I’m recovering from the amazingness that was YAllFest yesterday, but I have a super extra special custom for you today.
