Man, I really needed that break! Things just got a little chaotic there for a while but have calmed down to a dull roar now so maybe I can manage this blog a little better. Too much has happened in the time off to completely catch everyone up to speed but let me just tell you the most important:

I graduated from college! Finally, after all these years... I can proudly say that I am a college graduate. No more checking "some college" on surveys. Sorry to brag but holy cow I am proud! I made an A on my final paper, which earned me a grade of a 96% in the class. That means I graduated with distinction and will be on the dean's list. I am so proud! Two friends are planning a small graduation party for me and I am so happy.

I've only been finished with school and homework for four days but I've already finished four craft projects. I will attempt to upload pics soon. They'll be kinda crummy camera phone pics because my regular camera is all but unusable. I have no idea what we'll do at Easton's birthday. Maybe I can borrow one from a friend. Katy? Amanda? Jessica? I'd really appreciate if I could borrow a camera from someone. Even if it's just for the day. Thanks!

That's all for now. It's late and I've got a lot of crafting to do tomorrow. Hooray! Crafty Lil Devil is BACK! Pictures and how-to's coming up.

Blog closed until further notice. Too much going on right now! I can be reached by email (sometimes not very speedily), on Facebook or on my cell or home phones. Thanks!

I just noticed that when I put in this fancy new photo header I accidentally erased my nav bar I worked so hard to create. It will be back just as soon as I find time to create it again. I also need to tweak the birthday banners for the kids so all of their info shows up. {sigh} One of these days I'll get this blog looking the way I want it.

LOOK AT THAT!!! ^ I made that! Holy cow. I never thought I'd figure it out but I did! It's still got to be resized a little and tweaked a bit but I DID IT! Thanks to a very easy tutorial found at Clover Lane.

I don't love it yet. Too many pictures, the text is too small and it needs to be resized. It will have to be wonky for a while. The babies are awake and it's time to make dinner. I'll try to get it fixed as soon as possible. It's really gonna bug me til I do. Meanwhile, I figured out how to resize it and made a few changes and now I really like it. I'm so proud! I'm doing the happy dance because I DID IT! I made my own photo header! :)

Yep, it worked. You can't write much of a post in only 160 characters so I don't really see the point. At least I learned something new today, useless or not.

Blogging by text message? No way! Let's see if this works.

Hey, look! I got a signature! Hey, look! I got a fancy new navigation bar! Ooh, aah! Wanna see a recipe? Just click Recipes (right under the title of this blog. Cool, huh? Or maybe I'm just impressed with myself that I figured out how to do this. (Translation: stumbled upon a ridiculously easy, step-by-step tutorial and followed the directions.) I'll be making more changes in the next few weeks. Please bear with me if things look a little wonky. :)

OK, thought I'd give this blog-thing a try. See if anything interesting becomes of it, or if it's just junk.
More later on who I am and what I'm doing.
