Happy New Year!

It's a brand new year, so I figured it's a good time to start a brand new blog.  I must confess, I've always been terrible at keeping a journal, so this will be a new experience for me...  I'd like to thank Carol S. for inviting me to join "Hooked on Exchanging"- I've loved needlework (especially cross-stitch) ever since I was a little girl, and I'm really looking forward to making many new friends and exchanging goodies with each other.    8^ )
