I’ve been kinda busy lately. NOT doing school/work stuff. I know! It’s amazing, huh?! I have been trying to jump on board this whole, super cute, Wizard of Oz – International Blog Hopping Day thing… but I keep running out of time! I am hoping it is ok to drag this out for way longer […]

What a gorgeous weekend. I’ve actually stayed away from my computer! {but not my phone… baby steps}. After 15 years of searching, I finally found an old rocking chair worthy of salvaging and inexpensive enough to purchase and revamp. So I did some painting this weekend.
