Gah! Did April fly by in about half a second for anyone else? So crazy! But I’m super happy to welcome May â€“ it’s National Stationery Show month!! And of course we have a couple of gorgeous illustrated wallpapers from Katie ofÂ The Good Twin to welcome the new month, including a mini pep talk for any stationers preparing to exhibit at the show (like Katie!). I’m also doing something a wee bit different and adding in one of my own wallpapers this month: an iridescent image that I’ve been enjoying on my own devices and thought I’d share! Enjoy!

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone â€“ and Happy April Fool’s Day! It’s also my husband’s birthday today! We’veÂ actually been in the Catskills in Upstate New York this week for some family R&R, since it’s our daughter’s Spring Break back in DC. We didn’t really have an agenda for this week, but we’re having fun exploring the area and relaxing at our temporary home in the mountains. We’ll miss these mountain views when we head back to DC this weekend! But in the meantime…

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! Any plans for the weekend? It’s cold again here in DC this weekend, so I think we’ll be spending most of our time staying warm indoors. I’m pretty sure this will be one of our last winter-like weekends, so I’m totally fine with a slow and cozy pace this weekend. But in the meantime…
