We are going to see Mirror, Mirror

I have been watching Grimm and Once Upon A Time.

I will be switching to video/audio-video every other week so I can have more to show, but podcast will look like video when downloaded but when labeled: Just crafting along its an audio podcast that has pictures showing what I am doing. If you want to see how this will work check out my first 3 audio ones. I feel that I sometimes need to just do an audio podcast instead of making short non-fun episodes.
