An abundance of riches

And I don’t mean the monetary kind.

The last few days have been full of the kind of events that can leave you breathless and pinching yourself to make sure it’s all real.

Thank You stamp

I admit to a pretty big crush on Etsy. I love supporting other artists. I love the inspiration I get from viewing a wide variety of craft and art. And I love making the world a prettier place.

Southwest Airlines, I <3 you!

Anything else?
