Happy, uh, Saturday! Yesterday completely got away from me so we’re banging this out today. The theme is You vs You. In home news, WM is two weeks post-ACL surgery and is getting around pretty well on crutches. He had…
June cards
This month I re-entered the MetaFilter card swap to force myself back into creating cards. I knew that I wanted my June cards to have rainbows on them because of Pride and also who doesn’t love rainbows? They mean many…
