Elissa's creationsYou know how I enjoy little traditions in life, right? Have we talked about this before? I can't say they make sense to anyone but me, and whom I may share them with, but I like the familiarity of there being a consistency in some of my actions. Like listening to Simon and Garfunkel's … Continue reading Elissa Halloran ~ Lark Street

Girlbomb Birthday Party
Me and Janice!!Ever since I read Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl, I've been a fan of the memoir. The ability of a person to chronicle and express their experiences never fails to touch me - and perhaps is the reason why I find myself sharing my own life as freely as I do … Continue reading Girlbomb Birthday Party
