Delays and technology frustration

11 / 9 / 16

Appreciating my health and a few WIP’s

3 / 28 / 143 / 29 / 14

The flu has been taking its toll on my little household.  First my youngest daughter (home for Spring break), then my husband, then me, and now my middle daughter (who came by to “nurse” me) have fallen ill. I can’t remember being so sick and feeling so bad in a long time.  Today, I feel… Read More

I couldn’t help myself. 💕 I felt like making I couldn’t help myself. 💕 I felt like making hearts today so I revisited my ombré heart tutorial from 2018. I just love a good ombré and anything with hearts is a win!
