• Via @CraftTestDummy via @CraftCritique: Attention crafty people... when tweeting about craft use #craft. Genius!


• I not only fell off the WW wagon, but got run over by it. Up 4 lbs after 2 weeks no weigh-in. Ugh. Bringing health lunch & snacks to crop today.

My Twitter Tweeps, en Mosaic

TOO FREAKIN' COOL!  Saw a tweet that mentioned this Twitter app by @walter: Twitter Follower Mosaic.  Had to give it a whirl.
