I'm ba-a-a-ack!

Flying into Torino, Italy

Still slightly jet-lagged, just got through harvesting and storing over 800 photographs taken on my journey. I had a wonderful time, and I am SO glad to be home with my Bear and my keetums again!

We ate sinfully delicious home-cooked meals the entire week (all but one), and hiked in the mountains almost every day to a different castle or chiesa (church) or ruin of some sort. One of the highlights of the trip was getting to visit the church of St. Michele, which was featured in the movie "The Name of the Rose".

The church of St. Michele

Honestly, I've still got a lot of work to do with the photos, so I won't try and cram a bunch in here just yet... I just wanted to say "Ciao!" to my blogiverse friends and let you know I'm still kickin'.

Oh - and some good news! I made my first sale on my Etsy.com website! I sold the Steampunk Treasure Trunk!! WOOOOOT! Full steam ahead!
