While we were on vacation, I sold a set of my favorite otter notecards. It’s the teeny tiny victories that count when you aren’t devoting much time to your artistic craft. I mailed them off yesterday and realized that I only have two sets of otter cards left. Good thing I get to keep the…
Happy Couch + Window (+Peanut) Reunion
Well, we’re slowly but surely getting a grasp on “normal life” after vacation life. I think I like jet lag a lot less at 30 than I did at 21. But you know who’s really really happy? Peanut. He was treated like a king while we were gone, so he wasn’t exactly sad for the…
