BLOG IN TRANSITION


WELCOME TO THE NEW BLOG!  

I've been working away at it for a while, and I'm pretty happy to FINALLY unveil the design and details.  Hold onto your seats, kids...

My Beautiful Disaster is now Charlie Foxtrot.  I've been feeling out of touch with the name My Beautiful Disaster for a long time now, but was hesitant to change it.  That hesitation led to me becoming distant from my online home.  It's funny how a name can bring you down, isn't it?  With the new name comes a renewed energy to this hobby I so love, and I hope you'll stick around for the ride.

Raimund has become intrigued with this online community, so he'll also be making appearances on here as well, which I think is rad.  He's a fantastic guy with a wicked hat collection and penchant for things retro, so he'll be a great fit in the (online) neighbourhood.

I'm still in the process of tweaking design elements on here, so I'll keep my fingers crossed it won't look too wonky on your end.  Pinky promise.

In other news, we're still in the midst of unpacking belongings and making the apartment feel like home.  I never realized how much junk I collected over the years until I had to box everything up.  HOLY CRAP.  So far we've dropped off 4 car loads of donations to Value Village, and I still have more to get rid of.  It's worth it though, it feels good to let go of the past (including the ripping of photos.)

That's it for now!
