I'm participating. So there.

If I had a warning label, what would it say?

(if you tell me, I'll reply with what I think yours ought to be)

just got a load of stuff for some things I'm making for folks for christmas. I am excited about this process. No, I'm not saying what it is. For the moment, it is seeekrit.
