You Can Find a Lot of Things Growing When You Wander around a Farmhouse at Night Looking for Good Subject Material to Write About


Do you remember that plant I rescued from the Pac N' Save?  That's her up there.

Dreaming of chicks, I'm sure.  I bet they look like this:

  1. So sweet! I made her a necklace with a bird on it tonight. I couldn't resist and it had been so long since I've crafted that I was on a high and couldn't stop making things. So now I must go to bed. Goodnight! :)
