I just ran across this "resume" in one of my oooold baby/parenting magazines this morning(Parenting magazine, Aug. 2006, article written by Suzanne Stipe Persaud):

That sums it up. :) And no, the format was not intentional. I tried to fix it, but that's just how my silly blog arranged it.
If I am as awesome as I think I am, I will post some pictures later of my recent craftyfull endeavors: little recycled notebooks, and junkmail paper beads!!
Love,
~Bea
