Well, I am a bad blog poster. I have not posted since October. It has to do with the idea that I am just active with life these days. If I am not involved with something at church or work, then I am babysitting or knitting my mother's sweater. I started the sweater in late October, and since my last post was in October .. do ya think that it takes up just a little of my time?!?! I am amazed at how some people with a lot less time on their hands manage to post every day.
Then recently, one of my good friends, Becky, started a blog for her family. I was already feeling bad for not blogging on any type of regular basis because Michelle, one of the gals that has attended our craft days in the past, has been diligent about posting on her blog daily. But NOW .. the pressure was on. (Since Becky is my pastor's wife, I blame her partly for keeping me so busy at church. Ha! Those crafting events DO pay off.)
So anyway .. one of the knitting websites that I frequent has a getting-to-know-you survey that a lot of people fill out. 100 things about Me. Here is my list. It's not totally complete but it is pretty interesting (in my humble opinion).
