I don't have teenagers, but my 4 kids keep me so busy and I help me husband with his business, so it's not the easiest thing to have lots of friends to talk with. With blogs, I love how I can read and post comments when I have time, I also enjoy seeing everyone's work. Most my friends here aren't quilters, so having blogs to visit is really fulfilling for me. <BR/><BR/>I love your journal idea! And the sidewalk drawings are wonderful! I also love the idea for the scraps you leave in the woods! I didn't mean to write so much. I'm out of town, and the computer won't let me log in to post on my blog, I guess that's why I'm so longwinded. Thanks for all the inspiration!
