I want to blog but can't think of anything good! Except for being very excited that I did the dishes last night at 10:30. I know you're all on the edge of your seats, waiting for that thrilling tale.
My Parachute packs were sold out in less than 36 hours! Wow! I'm making more and I'll let you know when they're listed. I have some great fabrics coming, prints, batiks, pirates...all kinds of pretty!
Anyways, I've seen this a lot of places, and thought it was kind of neat. You put your day of birth in Wikipedia, and then post what is spit out.
