Oh me, oh my. How does every day seem to whiz by faster than a speeding train? I logged in to post a Freebie Friday, then realized it was too early for Friday, so then I started a Typeface Tuesday post, only to realize that today is actually Wednesday. I *might* be ready for a vacation. [...]
A little over a year ago, I decided to make a daily mini book (1 | 2) as an alternative to PL or December Daily. It was a fun project and I plan to do it again soon. (I also did it for March, but got caught up in a hectic schedule for the rest of [...]
