you know a friend of mine asked me the other day if i keep up with my blog anymore, and it was then i realized i have neglected this online world. i'm not what you would call a blogger, per se, but i do like to post some things i have been working on lately. these pictures of my friend melissa and her sister are from waaaaaay back before christmas. they were actually for their mother's christmas presents. so for all you onlookers, consider this christmas in april!
