It does not matter what time of the day or night it is, it is just that relaxing to me. It's funny even reading a beading tutorial puts me to sleep LOL!<br />Therese<br />Therese's Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11048140538791568162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8245960788517958704.post-15054421059482196882013-01-20T09:29:56.022-05:002013-01-20T09:29:56.022-05:00Books and tea, doesn't get any better.
