More then you ever wanted to know...

Where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday I was trying to figure out how eBlogger worked. Now it's my 101st post! Technically, it's my 100th but I felt as if the Elf Yourself video deserved it's own. If you have not Elfed yourself; I highly recommend it! Who knew you could really move and shake it like that? Ha ha.
