Hello, I'm Kaci.

I would describe myself as crafty, outgoing, and creative.

I love true crime and the supernatural.

I am still nostalgic about Fort Myers - my home prior to Hurricane Ian. I'm struggling with the cold winters here in Gainesville. That's only the 3rd Vienna Workshop PC I've seen. I've loved them all. Happy Valentine's Day!

Hey Kaci! Thanks so much for the fun envelope of stickers. I love all of them! I haven't been crafting too much lately. I was sick with a pretty bad cold toward the end of January and am just now getting back some of my motivation to do things LOL. Hope you're doing well!

I have been trying to read more this year and I think I'm off to a pretty good start! Trying to utilize my Kindle more too since it makes it so easy to get ebooks through the library :-)

I have done crochet! I am still a beginner so it's just been basic stuff, but I think I'll also try to crochet some items to donate this year as one of my goals. Thanks again for the stickers for my WW Feb wishlist!

Bhindblueeyes on Feb 5, 2025:
