i am home from Chicago and so excited about all the fun stuff i saw at CHA!!! i had a blast doing the make-n-take at the Our Craft Lounge booth...the women of OCL and the amazing design team are wonderful!!! i miss them already!

okay...here is the personal part...
there are times in our lives where we are lost and broken...some people manage it all better than others...over the past several months there have been a lot of changes in my life, and there are more to come...i had to process it all, take some time to focus on my 'real life work', and find a 'new normal' for my life...all that being said, i am putting all the pieces back together and am very confident that the mosaic that God is creating is amazing and beautiful and exactly what he imagines for my life...
thank you for your patience, thank you for looking in on me, and thank you most of all for your love and support!!!
