After a few quiet hours of pondering on the plane home wish I had a picture of both kids asleep on daddy's lap. I realized 2 things.
One being that Collin is officially super dad. He watched the kids all week & amazed me! Second, that the last few months are catching up with me & am feeling a bit spread to thin... just breathe is my new motto! June 1st feels like a fresh start for me. Excited to take some liz time, get all the creative ideas out of my head and onto photos, fabric and paper, start fun business ventures with Collin, oh, & breathe.

Very flattered to be guesting this month for Studio Calico... which is one of my favorite kit companies!! April & Scarlet rock it every month with the hottest products! When the kits are released you'll find me checking out the design galleries for major inspo. Here's one of my pages.
