procrastination list

I saw Chris T on the train the other day... hadn't seen her since my birthday party. We got chatting about what we did in our holidays and I told her about how I learned how to do a lot of craft stuff from the internet. So I sent her (and Haze) some links to some of my favourite sites. And I got thinking today... why don't I share them with the world? So here is my Top 12 list for sites to procrastinate with...

1
