    Hi,

    Just wanted to answer your comment on my blog. I have merged my scrapbook site and my regular blog and inlcuded layouts there for you to see. You said you were new to it and I hope you enjoy it. It’s a lot of fun to do and I have fantasies about my kids loving their books when they grow up. 🙂

    P.S. I’m not really THAT organized. 🙂

    to answer your question about why two sets of comments.
    Blogspot comments used to always malfunction, so I started using haloscan, but then some friends overseas complained they couldn’t access the haloscan, so I use both. Oh, and I’m a comment whore of course.

    Yes -I am still listening to them still too! (And TLC – Depeche Mode was on the list – but I could only have 13!! But I was never into Duran Duran. I know everyone else was, but I just never did.)

    Especially I still listen to 9-13 and REM and U2 are my favorite all time bands. I have seem them both in concert many times and I can’t get enough of them! Just love em.

    Thanks for all the great comments and I loved your TT’s too.

    Yip, all sound familiar and great. And I have a really tenuous connection with Simple Minds – my Godmother (who is my third cousin) is first cousin to the guitairist Charlie Burchill.

    If that doesn’t make a celebrity, well I don’t know what does(!)

    Fun list.
    My TT is now up.
