I'm Stephanie. I like to knit, write letters and poems, read (novels and blogs!), and stress out to the max. ;) At Sunbeam Soapbox I write about the knitting, letters, and whichever thoughts I want to share with the world. I also like new friends! Feel free to drop me an e-mail anytime using the contact form.
