Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

Since Gemma set a multicultural standard I suppose a Happy Allhelgona is in order! :)

You know I didn't even read the other comments to realize there was a international precedence even happening. Hee.
That look gets me every time!
Aww man, I was totally going to dress up like a chicken. We could have been twins!
