Next stop: Laura Nelkin HACKED

Hi there!

Some of you may have seen Melissa and me joking on Facebook and in our blogs about how I am her favorite stalker. So talented a stalker am I, and so mad are my Internet skilz, that I have managed to hack into her Blogger account.*

Simply so that I can show you these:






Why, yes, that is MMO's foot. Is there something odd about the fact that I took a photo of it?

But I digress.

MMO has some pressing personal issues to deal with today and so, like the first-runner up in the Miss America pageant, I am stepping up to the plate to introduce today's blog tour stop: Laura Nelkin, of Nelkin Designs. Her blog entry can be found here.

The blog tour continues:

June 30: Getting Stitched On The Farm, with the brilliant and undeniably gifted Kristin Nicholas
July 1: Go Knit In Your Hat (MMO's favorite stalker ME)
July 2: Sunset Cat, with Stefanni, who is not only a talented technical editor but also has the loveliest Tonkinese cats

On a more serious note, I am sure MMO would appreciate any thoughts or prayers you might have for her today.

*No, not really. Melissa invited me to pinch-hit for her today since she has some personal issues which will tie her up for the day.
