I love you with my whole heart. I will be yours, always. When you fall, I will catch you. When you cry, I will comfort you. When you laugh, I will share your joy. Everything I am and everything I have, I will share with you from this moment forth and for eternity. Let me make my home in your heart all the days of my life. At this time, 12 years ago, I married my best friend and we exchanged those vows. For the first time in three years I’m actually home to celebrate my anniversary with my husband and, despite the craziness in the current world preventing any sort of actual celebration, we are still so grateful to be safe, healthy, and together. ❤️🥂❤️

Someone is trying awfully hard to convince me that I should give up trying to work through a creative block and just snuggle back in bed with a book and a cup of coffee...and a crinkle ball for him. 😂❤️😹 ••• #tuxedocat #tuxedocatsofinstagram

Hi friends! I hope you’re enjoying the last few hours of the weekend! ❤️ I spent a mostly relaxing weekend getting my craft room back in order after the holidays and took a little time to do more ink blends! 💛❤️💙 I’m hoping to continually add more blends as I think of them and you can find my first batch by following the hashtag #allthesparkleblends! These particular blends were ones I was testing for future cards but I’d love to know if there’s a color (or two) you’d like me to focus on for the next batch! 😉 ••• #distressoxideinks #distressoxide #inkblending #papercrafting #ink
