52 Things update for January

I've stalled a bit... this past month I spent Christmas with my kids (and my parents) in TEXAS and finished my scrap knitted scarf (and I love it!). I've also read some more books trying to get "caught up". I'd planned on making soap in the RV, but realized I'm out of some supplies. Plus I got a sweet supply of homemade soap for Christmas from my parents!
