Month in Review: April 2013

Vacation has come and gone and now we are into May – time is flying by!!! Aruba was fantastic and I got quite a bit of reading in, which is good – May is chock-full of blog tours. I just need to balance those review books with my own books.

I am totally rocking the crocheting this year. I’ve already made 4 baby blankets and have 1 more currently in the works. These have all been gifts and once I finish the latest one for my newest niece (and goddaughter) Abby, I am hoping to make a few to donate to Project Linus.
