Bag ladies

I had my little henchmen each choose two random numbers, which gives me our four winners: Missy, Zoe, Gayle, and Jodie!  Congratulations, ladies.  I’ll be emailing you in a few minutes to get the snail mail addresses where I can send your knit or crochet bags. Thanks, everyone, for playing along!

Milestones and the tote bags to hold them in

Hey there. Didja miss me? Wednesday morning I hopped into a van with two baby boomers, four young boys, and a cooler full of snacks, and began barrelling down route 78 on our way to Lancaster County, PA. It was an enjoyable trip with many stops along the way to keep us busy, but there’s [...]
