Quick Thoughts
I spent today working on re-releasing Beginnings, which has found its way into a pretty PDF and is already uploaded to the website. Now I just need to build it an equally pretty page. Let’s hope that won’t take me another year to finish. 🙈
Ridiculously happy to have finally found a replacement bulb for my lava lamp 💡
