I had two goals this week:
1. Relax and
2. List the left over items from the open house in my etsy shop.

My favorite part of Halloween is the food (surprise, heh). Last year we ate taco soup with salty bones (bread [...]
I have all kinds of things to tell you today.

Happy Anniversary! Sorry you won’t get these in time, [...]
I have to have the blinds open. All. The. Time. I love sunshine pouring in my windows. I also love Saturdays because the view from my studio window often looks like this – husband and kids playing and working in the backyard. Recently, Chris hung another bird feeder in the magnolia tree. Now the cardinal family [...]
