I knew going into the month of May was going to be a busy month but honestly, I had no idea how things were just going to escalate and continue to grow all month. I really had no time to even catch my breath. With so much happening with events, birthdays, graduations, my anniversary yeah I think I could’ve felt like I was drowning, but I had my art to fall back on in those moments. I know I didn’t really get a chance to produce a lot this month and I’m sorry for that but I’ve just run out of time. The newsletter will not be going out this month. I just do not have time for that and I apologize. I’m so sorry.  I’m thankful that you guys participated in the napkin exchange and the Happy Mail Swap!  I hope everybody has received theirs, mine has gone out a bit late, but they were all sent. So instead of sitting here writing a whole lot about the whole month, I’ll just show you the highlights….

Happy Friday, sweet friends 💛 This week has been full in the best kind of way. Doug and I kicked things off with our Sunday live at our new time—2 PM—and oh my goodness… we laughed our way through making wax seals.

Little Joys & New Beginnings Join the Napkin Exchange—Now Open! This week has been such a sweet one, and my heart feels so full 💛 We’ve officially kicked off the Napkin Exchange, and I’m so excited to see so many of you already signing up! If you’ve been thinking about joining, there’s still plenty of time—it’ll be open through April 24, and everyone is welcome.

This past week has been a gentle step back into things for me. I’m finally starting to feel a bit better, and I’ve been slowly finding my rhythm again. It hasn’t been about rushing or catching up all at once—just taking it one small piece at a time and easing back into the creative flow I’ve missed so much.

Well… this week didn’t exactly go as planned. I ended up taking my mom to the emergency room, and she was admitted to the hospital. If you’ve ever sat in one of those waiting rooms, you know it’s a whole experience in itself—long hours, lots of unknowns, and plenty of deep breaths in between.

This past week has been a bit of a whirlwind. I had to switch to a new video editing program after some frustrating issues with my old one, and what I thought would be a quick change turned into a full week of learning.
