With a leap, skip and a jump

We survived the holidays! And aside from a devastating flu that we all managed to catch, 2009 is treating us well!

I don't know if it was the all the snow or the cold, and now this past week of fog, but we have been spending a lot of time inside, baking, crafting and doing a lot of reading. We were spoiled at Christmas and it is nice to have the time to enjoy and play with all the gifts we received. Among the many wonderful gifts I opened, these new books are inspiring me.
