I’ll be wearing stripey socks & sweaters & scarves everyday this month to raise awareness about stripes. What will you be doing?

Hi friends and neighbors-
I made a little stop motion video. I’ve been talking about it here for quite some time- and now it’s time for it’s grand debut! I made it to enter the HP You on You contest and waited to post it here until I knew if I was moving to [...]
