The Beginning...

Whhhhhhhhhhheeeeee.  Look who's got a new blog just in time to start procrastinating.  I have a costume that needs to be finished in six and a half days, plus two dresses, a hat, and a scarf that need work.  I'd post pics but I'm procrastinating taking those too.

If you're looking for my old posts they're all over at One Lone Tree.
