The sun was actually out for a bit this morning and February – for possibly the first time ever – seems to be flying by!
Work table, stacked with prepped journals, albums, and paper…they’ll turn in to butterflies later today and tomorrow

In the meantime, we’ve got some new seeds and bulbs started (I know, I know…you plant bulbs in the fall, but these were lingering at the back of an ignored shelf at the grocery store and were just begging to be bought and planted, so here we are.) New paper arrives this afternoon and all of those albums and journals and cards are going to really take shape!
