Life in Yonder
www.lifeinyonder.blogspot.com
19
Yonder can be described as a place between here and there. As a two-cultural person I am always somewhere in between my cultures. As a working mom I am always on my way from one place to another, from one chore to another. And as a crafter I am always between one project and another. This is my place. It is from here that I share with you photos and stories from my everyday life.
