I'm Back!

I know it's been forever and I don't know if anyone's still out there LOL, but I finally took the time to sit down and figure out the new Blogger! And, now that I have my own graphics back in place, I'm feeling a whole new sense of blog love - at least for today anyway :) Of course now that I've figure out how to customize this bad boy, I'm anxious to create a new header and spruce things up a bit for spring, we'll see how that goes.

I've been pretty busy in the almost two months since I last posted. My parents came out for a visit, so we had a lot of fun with them! We made a trip out to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum - something I always love to do - and got our carpet cleaned too (something I didn't love as much LOL!). All in all it was a good visit. And, my little brother Mike is coming out to visit in about a week and a half with his wife and their little girl Hannah - I'm totally excited to see them!

I also found a new salsa that I'm in love with - Nanna's Sassy Salsa in Medium - which I understand you can buy at the Tucson airport (I bought mine at the 4th avenue street fair last weekend) and in Phoenix somewhere at their store. I also really love Sting-n-Linger salsa, but I can't seem to get that here in Tucson anymore. I think we're just gonna order a case and have it shipped to us - we really eat a lot of salsa LOL!

And, last but not least, I'm totally obsessed with knitting and crocheting now! I just taught myself crochet last weekend in order to make some booties for a baby shower and now I'm starting in on an afghan! So, now I have a cabled scarf and a fun fur baby blanket going on the knitting needles and the afghan and a stuffed bunny going on the crochet hook! I tell ya, I'm kinda crazy about these things. But, I figure I'll just work at them little by little while I'm watching TV and someday I'll finish them! The bunny is actually pretty close - he just needs his arms and legs yet - I'm hoping to finish it for Hannah when she gets here :) Plus, I've also been feeling the urge to scrap more this week - I couldn't do much with our guests here so all my mojo has been piling up and I'm itching to create! I did a couple of layouts with Nancie Rowe Janitz's Sassafrass Tea kit this week - I just love that thing! Highly recommended :)
