This week had a few setbacks, but I still managed to get a video out, and honestly, I’m counting that as a win. The new video was all about turning napkins into cards, and I had so much fun with it that I think I may do a few more napkin-inspired videos soon. There are just so many fun possibilities with them! If you have ideas or techniques you’d like to see, leave them in the comments because I’d love to use some of your suggestions in future videos — and of course I’ll give you credit for the inspiration.

The napkin exchange is officially happening all over the place now, and that makes me so happy. I’ve already received one package myself, and several people have let me know theirs are already in the mailbox heading to their new homes. Mine is running just a tiny bit behind, but it’ll be heading out tomorrow. 😊 The happy mail packages should start making their way out soon too. We all have until the end of May to send everything, but apparently some of you are much speedier than I am!

Outside of crafting, May is packed full for our family. We’ve got our anniversary coming up on the 16th, Cyrena’s graduation on the 15th, her 18th birthday celebration, and a combined graduation and birthday party later this month too. And then comes the secret surprise… we’re taking her zip lining in the North Carolina mountains with her siblings for a big family adventure. I’m really excited about that one.

So if I seem a little quieter than usual this month, just know life is overflowing in the best kind of way right now. Busy, joyful, slightly chaotic… but good. Very, very good. ❤️

And before I go, I hope all of you moms out there have a beautiful and happy Mother’s Day weekend. I hope you get a little time to relax, create something you love, and feel extra appreciated for all that you do. 💐
