The problem with taking an extended blog break is that sometimes, it's hard to jump back in.It's been way too long but today, I'm jumping.
My wildly creative Australian friend Natasha Burns has issued a plea for help. There are devastating floods in her country and she is having a fundraising giveaway on her blog to help those in need.
Donate $5 and she'll enter you in her giveaway.
You'll have a chance to win one of her gorgeous paintings, you'll feel good about helping families who have lost everything and it's tax deductible.
How can you resist?

Yay welcome back to Blogland.
Natasha is doing a wonderful thing. The floods here in Australia have been terrible. As it is Summer here in Australia I am wondering if there will be floods in Winter too.
