A few of my favorite things


I am a huge movie fan. I like to say that I can find some redeeming value in just about any movie. Even cheesy B horror flicks. Love 'em!

A few of my favorite things


These are my babies. Okay, so they are about 3 years old, but they are still my babies. I captured a lovely pic of them the other night.

A few of my favorite things


Let me tell you a little about me. I love to knit. I taught myself from a book, which means anyone can do it. Next on my list is learning to crochet.

In with the new and out with the old


These are my kilns. Aren't they pretty? Well, at least the new shiny one. Not that I don't love the old one, its just, you know, old (Mom and I think it may be the same one she was using 15 years ago).

Dear Diary



I'm starting to feel like I might be able to do this. I made major progress in my room today. They were even nice enough to put my name on the wall outside the door.
