{semi} wordless wednesday

i am packing for a BIG move...not a blog move but a family move...i will post as much as i can....{won't be visiting much BUT will catch up soon!!}i will def keep up {s}ww...can't promise much more.xo-------------------------------------------------------

i am posting images from my instagram...

if your not on imstagram, 

you're missing out.

i mean, who doens't need another time sucking addiction??

are you on instagram? if so, let me know your name.

mine is flipflopspearls, so original, right??

i am also loving webstagram, too!!

EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO LINK BUT:

-do not spam me, i don't want to have to approve each entry

{if your advertising or selling something, THIS ISN'T criagslist!}

i've had to delete links to past few weeks - i hate to do it but i'm sorry

-be respectful- leave a comment & visit others, DO NOT link & run & expect others to visit & comment, it probably won't happen

-if you link, add my badge to your post (how else will others know where to link??)

i have a few ppl who are so faithful and link each week and they nor i appreciate it.

it was brought to my attention, and while i am not a "DO THIS DONT DO THAT" rule person, i have to watch out for my faithful followers.

thank you:)
