I'm Still Alive

I've just been really busy with non home/blog stuff.  You see, during the months of May and June I have 8 gift giving occasions, so not only do I have to shop for all those gifts, I must also attend the functions that go along with them.  And when you add all that to my work schedule (along with the normal chores that need to be done around the house) I don't have a lot of other free time.  But we're nearing the end of the present zone and I've got a couple of projects almost finished that I think you guys will love.  Thanks for sticking with me while I've been ignoring you, but I promise it'll be worth the wait.
