Potpourri

This is post of a few different things! 3 posts in 1 day?! I know, I'm nuts!  I'm going to go ahead and call this one Potpourri - or Poperee as I like to spell it. :)

First I'd like to take a minute to share with you about my co-worker and friend, Ruth. She taught me how to knit, she was my favorite thing, and I love her! I wanted to brag about her new shop on Etsy! She is selling beautiful homemade Christmas ornaments. If you are looking for a different and meaningful kind of gift this Christmas, and one that will last a lifetime, please see her shop here :)

Second, I've been tagged by Amanda at Just an Average Girl and Sarah at This Writer's Journey in their lists of four. I highly suggest you check out their blogs, both are GREAT girls with fun blogs :) Now let me make this list, and check it twice:
