Breaking news – 2017 is over! I know I feel like this every year but (as always) it just seems worse this year. Where did 2017 go? I cannot believe how quickly it passed by. Was that a semi that just knocked me over into the ditch of New Year Fallout? Well, it was a busy year, a good year, a…
Hello campers! I hadn’t intended to post again so quickly after my last post – I had planned to either announce this over the weekend or next weekend (the 18th). So why am I posting so early?

Once again, I had another rather ‘unproductive’ month. I mostly played catch up. But a few key events happened. Tweaked my blog design a smidge. Went to our libraries massive bi-annual book sale. And yes, I got gobs and gobs of beautiful books. And behold – the book haul! Three classics – I’m especially pleased with lovely editions of…
It’s time to look back at the things that have happened since I started Allison’s Well! It’s been some ride – and just a few of the pit stops are below! Started a blog (obviously). I actually built the first blog myself – *cue disaster music* It was ugly, but I am astonished now that I even had…
