Learning new tricks
I’ve been working on a few projects lately. One project I’ll show you later next week. Thursday night I worked on bringing “spring” to the decor at church.

I can’t even believe this has happened! I’ve run out of picture space for my blog!!! When I started my blog in December of 2005 it didn’t even cross my mind that I might “use up my quota” of space! But alas and alack it has happened. Google tells me this: You are currently using … Read More

Shameless plug
Because I consider Ryan a friend, and because I’m pretty sure you will enjoy reading his blog almost as much as mine, I’m self-lessly promoting his blog right here, right now, on my blog. Hop over and take a look. Tell him Cheri sent ya!
