I just disappeared for almost 2 months. I don’t know how it happened.  I switched jobs, no longer had a computer, went away on vacation, battled with my internet connection.  Excuses, excuses.

Don’t worry: the whole time, I’ve been nibbling on things that I’d like to write about.

Please accept my apologies and stay tuned for a post very soon!

Congratulations to Jenna Z, who won my necklace giveaway!

I made a couple of extras which I put up on my underused Etsy store.

Thanks to everyone who entered.   I hope to do another giveaway sometime.

I haven’t updated recently for two reasons. It’s been a crazy year:

1.  I am now a homeowner! We moved into a condo in a gorgeous, old historical house a few days ago.  We toasted New Year’s Eve there with a great view of fireworks over the city, and ate our first dinner of the year sitting on the floor.

Now we are almost unpacked and it’s a great place to live.  Last night I came home to delicious pork chops stuffed with apples and pears…I am such a lucky girl.

2.  My hard drive died!  I’ve had a MacBook for less than a half year and it kicked the bucket.  I lost tons of photos and files because my December had been too busy to back up.  (Excuses, excuses.)  At least it’s under warantee, but I’m still waiting to get it back.

I hope to be back soon with more posts – hope 2008 has been great for all of you.
