Happy Friday everyone! It may have been a short week, but it was busy busy busy over here. Lots of planning for the 2013 Paper Party (yay!) during the National Stationery Show in May and a new special (but currently top secret) project that I can’t wait to share with you! Oh, and some not-so-fun tasks, too, like our 2012 taxes and trying to navigate the world of homeowner insurance quotes. But really, nothing makes me feel better than getting things done, particularly when the length of my to do list was starting to freak me out! Now I get to actually enjoy the weekend and spend time with my sweet little girl. But in the meantime…
