just a quick shout out

to kristen over at craftiments for creating those cute little icons [which you can find here] over on the left side of my blog.  i am a little new to this whole blog writting thing and i am slowly [... very slowly] learning the ins and outs of the blogging world and how to make mine pretty and functional.  kristen's tutorial on how to set the icons up was very helpful and not to mention they are pretty darn cute.  so, thank you ma'am for your hard work and help!
