Oh boy, I am back among the living. Whew, it's been a rough week of being sick here. I got an awful sinus infection that had me in bed for a week. Finally, I am on the mend. Forgive me for not being a good poster over the next few days but I have got orders to catch up on and I still have Halloween beads on the front of my website. Loosing a week of work when you're not planning on it throws you for a loop. I will catch up and be back at blogging and twittering and all that fun stuff next week. In the meantime, it's flash back Friday. Here is last year's Holiday Project from this week.

Have a great day,
Jennifer
