While reading some of the Not Me's on MckMama's blog, I came across Cassandra's blog and have really enjoyed reading it so far.  I am going to try to find more time later to read back through her older posts.  I always try to do that when I find a new blog.

Thanks for reading/noting me. I love your blog too, I'm currently reading and, as you said you do, going back and reading old posts.
Thanks for your kind words, they meant a lot to me.
We seem to have a lot in common. I also scrapbook and watch JK+8....even though I don't really "like" them any more!
