November  seems to running at full speed and I cannot keep up!  I could really use an extra week in October.  Halloween was fantastic.  I dressed up for the first time in YEARS.

		<description><![CDATA[I am sure I have posted before that I love INCHIES.  I made this card last year and I liked it so much that I made several versions of it.  Sometimes the simplest designs are my favorite.  My grandmother always told me less is more.  Thinking back on my favorite designs she is absolutely correct.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nikimeiners.wordpress.com&blog=2961842&post=889&subd=nikimeiners&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
