Here it is: I bought an old picture frame at a garage sale (note the chipped corners) and used the mesh from my grandma’s … Continue reading Being Handy
I believe this video marks the end of my England video footage. I don’t think I have anything else hiding out in the depths of my computer files, but if I do, won’t that be a treat? Enjoy this PART TWO of the accent wars! Continue reading Long Awaited Sequel
