Scraps of Mind - 2007, The Year That Was

Welcome to Scraps of Mind. I'm delighted to see you. Why not check out the site, and if you like what you see, subscribe to my RSS feed and get daily updates delivered to you. If you're not sure what the RSS thing is, then check out this 'RSS made easy' post. Thanks for visiting and I look forward to seeing more of you.

As we head off into the uncharted waters of 2008, I thought I’d take a moment to look at the journey that Scraps of Mind has come on over the past year. Some of you have been a part of this journey from the beginning and many of you have joined me along the way.
