Couple of Crumbs

Hi! Welcome to our little blog, run by two old friends who just want to have a place to write... anything we please. Thanks for stopping by!

Funfetti is trying to defy the evils of writer's block one project at a time.

Red Velvet is a quirky little cupcake trying to channel her inner writer.

A very good friend of mine took me to see a musical last week. (Shout out to friend, who is a huge supporter of the site and just celebrated her birthday yesterday!)
