Nurse Duty Instead of Stampin'


Please forgive me, Patient Readers, as we've had a nasty bug making its way through our house.  Without crossing the TMI Line, let it suffice to say that I've been sitting with my three children for the last week (getting a lot of knitting done).

I've done zero (Z-E-R-O) stamping.  I know I owe you {12 Weeks of Christmas} posts among others, so stay tuned.  I'll be back on-track as soon as Halloween costumes are finished.
