The Year in Review | 2018

I absolutely love Vicki's posts of her Blog in Review. She shares the first line of the first post of the month, as well as her favorite photo of that month! I am not sure what I enjoyed more: re-reading the blog posts or looking at all the pictures of the month!!...

Thanks to Susan Anderson and a very bad ABBA pun, I am on a bit of a Knit-All-The-Gnome's spree! Well, at least 2 of them to put on the gifts for Steve's mom! She is a bit of a Gnome-iac and has them everywhere in her yard. So, it is the most fitting gift! Ha! As with...
