I'm not one for dishing too much personal business on my blog. I prefer to keep things light and airy, and crafty! But the hubby is going in for surgery tomorrow, so I'll be taking a few days off to man the fort. If you have a chance, cross your fingers that all turns out well for Mr. Okio B! Jeanine ...
