Shades of Shayes http://shayes08.blogspot.com/
I'm a Jesus-loving, blog-writing, video-editing, social media junkie with a dream of one day being on the NY Times Best Seller list. I sing and dance randomly and I wish life was a musical. I'm a grammar nazi, a major bookworm and I love to watch crime shows. I love people watching, being OCD about organization, climbing trees and the down comforter on my queen size bed.

My blog chronicles my (sometimes) crazy life and my journey to one day doing what I truly love. On Shades of Shayes you'll find posts on pretty much everything including rants about online dating sites, the saga of my interactions with a certain Office Boy, crazy stories from my past, random fun facts about myself, my thoughts on what God's been teaching me lately, or whatever else strikes my fancy.
