that's all I can think of for now

if you're wondering I don't listen to a lot of these bands now, but I needed to make a record
for myself

My sister makes cool stuff happen aka event manager

My sister played a major part in putting this great cd together. I'm sure the event will be great too, so if you happen to be in Delaware you should go!

back to the swing of things

We've been to almost both costs and a mid west trip. First to Utah's Bear Lake, a trip to my home state of Delaware and then to Kansas. And many fun trips to Gran and Pa's(Derek's folks). So that's why I've been so 'speechless' these last few months.
But as adventures unfold I'll try to post interesting tidbits to the blog universe.
I'm finally back to throwing pots after a three year break. It feels good to be back and I'm looking forward to some new projects and techniques I've never done before.
I've continued with my crafting and am now 'managing' Derek's online shop as well.
Eli starts preschool this month and Isabelle is growing not only in size but also increasing in brightness.
