I wish it could be the other way around.

I visited Inkygirl some while back and liked the site then, will be sure to revisit.Putting Pen to Paper sounds familiar, although it's too late to enter the book/name contest.

What is it they say about great minds?<br /><br />Anyway, whenever I take a break it's usually to the kitchen, or to the mall. I love creating things or finding bargains (it's about the "hunt", and not the "kill" - a motive unknown to our male counterparts).<br /><br />That said, I've begun going about with a camera at the ready.
