You sound really fun and I am crazy impressed that you play the drums, the flute AND the guitar. I sing, but I'm otherwise musically impaired. :D Which is your favorite instrument to play, and what kind of crafting do you do? I like to dabble in everything, but mostly I'm a costumer who loves to play with clothes. I live in Utah and would love to exchange some letters with you. It's not exotic or particularly interesting, but there's plenty of adventure to be found around town if you look hard enough!

Cool! I think I like them all quite equally. But actually, I sing as well and that's probably my favorite since I'm the best at it. :P And mostly I knit but lately I've been making a LOT of wire and bead rings.

Ah, I used to love making wire jewelry! I have a whole collection of hand-beaded bobby pins from when I was about 16 and would make 3 or 4 a day for months on end. It drove my family nuts, mostly because I'd leave 'em all over the house, unfinished or not. :) What kind of voice do you do? I envy people who are musically talented and creative - I can learn songs and polish them and put in my own spin, but that's as far as I ever go.

I'm looking back at your post and realizing - I never saw Princess and the Frog! I know one of the songs because my niece sings it all the time (something about being almost there?), but I never saw it. Is it amazing?
