Hello everyone! Marsha has been handling blog duties the last few weeks, so it goes without saying, I need to…GET OFF MY DUFF with this 50th post! For all of you who know me, I’m not lazy. Actually, I’m a bit hyper. And I’m especially hyper this week, cuz I’ve picked up some really cool stuff this week to share with you!
