I'll return to this post to add new projects as they come along... titles for the pictures (and anything I missed) when I get my new computer in a week or so (YAY!) This poor little cheapo oldie computer of mine is so slow it's rather difficult to type! Time to retire it to somewhere where it'll be taxed with less photo storage. (Do you hoard photos? Man, do I ever!)

Thank You ever so much for having a look!
