This time next month I will be chilling on the beach on Vaca with my parents :D . I am very much looking forward to this WELL needed time away.
I have had a lot of changes in my life the last few months so it was nice to sit down in my new work space and let everything leave my mind and relax to make these cards. I really enjoyed this months cards and am very very happy on how they turned out.
