Have I told you my theory about my dad?

You see, I’ve often suspected that he was from a long line of Irish wanderers – gypsies. We moved every two years when I was a kid. I loved it AND hated it at the same time. I have some of that same wanderer blood running through my veins and this summer my desire to travel has been cranked up a notch or two.

But things being as they are with tight budgets and time there is no vacation in the plans at the moment.

So I’m traveling via crafts. The next best thing to actually going somewhere.

Let’s see what we can find on my blog and the blogs of some of my crafty friends, shall we?
