Almost Done With My Name Game
So this weekend I have solely worked on my Name Game Mini. I was having trouble coming up with the initial idea, but once I made by ruler dresdens the rest came naturally.

I love the red border and the binding but I have mixed feelings about the blue border. Is it too much? Does is throw off the colors? Keep in mind, I\’m goingContinueContinue reading “No Regrets?”

Weekend Progress
So I spent the weekend in Boston and I had an absolute blast. It was Head of the Charles weekend, a huge rowing regatta, and I got to see some former teammates compete and see some friends I hadn\’t seen in a long time.
