Wow guys, it’s been a while hey? Some of you may know that I’m currently spending most of my time over at Woven Whimsy (if you haven’t yet, please head over, check it out and give it some love). This little blog has been on my mind recently, because I often still think of things…
Yay, a blog post that isn’t about babies! We moved into our home over 3 years ago, but it’s taken me this long to actually hang some pictures on the walls. Why? Because I have commitment issues. I love collecting prints and photos, but the thought of trying to decide on where to hang everything,…

When I think of pressed and dried flowers, I can’t help thinking of greeting cards sold at church bazaars.
