An idea of my knitting and crocheting lately....xoxoxo 

i love picasa! kind of random but oh well! 

rock and knitting go together 

Huh? Why is this way down here?

Slowly figuring out this page...will maybe have to start an external gallery til I get photos sorted. Got my secret pal though and I'm sooo excitied to start putting together packages for her. I think getting the email from Jacqueline that we were starting was the kick in the butt I needed to start this site (my old one crashed). Only one question: why is this frame not at the top of the page? Don't worry will figure it out. :)
