I hope this press release finds you all well and rested after a busy holiday season. And also safe - my area just got pounded with 8" of snow, which made for a long drive home last night. I guess it's officially winter, but we haven't had this much snow in as long as I can remember since moving here seven years ago. It seems like there's a new storm every week.
In any event, TGIF! I'm looking forward to playing with some of my knit and crochet projects over the weekend, as well as the wood burning tool that Hubby got me for Christmas. And let's not forget that now is the perfect time of year (ie: 12 degrees outside) to curl up in bed with a dim light and a good book. I hope to enjoy some of that this weekend, as well :)
