I once took a several year old break from scrapbooking and just started again this year :) Boden has such cute stuff, too. I've never ordered, but love what they do have- and especially the kids clothing!

Yes, I enjoy drooling over their catalog -- it's worth a splurge from time to time, especially when there's a great sale. :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234162572763034574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513749333350881349.post-46853263067657115682014-05-24T09:25:18.404-05:002014-05-24T09:25:18.404-05:00Thank you so much! :)Thank you so much! :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234162572763034574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513749333350881349.post-23137859039901213022014-05-24T09:25:01.074-05:002014-05-24T09:25:01.074-05:00Thank you, Janel!

I am not used to cutting myself slack, but I have definitely learned to relax on some things in recent weeks. That doesn't mean it doesn't bother me when I see how badly the kitchen floor needs mopping, but I know the time for that will come when it comes.<br /><br />Long ago, Anna at Pleasantview Schoolhouse posted some advice to young mothers and one of her bullet points was to try your best to do a little something creative every day. This has been echoing in my head so I DID manage to make myself some floral hair barrettes with dollar store flowers and grocery store barrettes, and wow did I feel accomplished! But I think she also means activities like just making a pretty arrangement of wildflowers in a vase, for example. The creative itch can be scratched many ways!Ashley Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513749333350881349.post-14881599719883126462014-05-17T16:57:02.968-05:002014-05-17T16:57:02.968-05:00By the way, the previous comment was from me!By the way, the previous comment was from me!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770377740616932615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513749333350881349.post-64200016805862641322014-05-17T16:55:28.400-05:002014-05-17T16:55:28.400-05:00Rosie is so cute!

Boden in a lovely substitute anyway, ;) and there are more important things in life than trying to be and do everything. By the way, Rosamund's printed top is simply the sweetest.Janelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00736112978352921076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513749333350881349.post-38623695896765736692014-05-16T09:30:15.801-05:002014-05-16T09:30:15.801-05:00Your daughter is adorable. :) Congratulations.

I haven't sewn much in the past year because life has been too crazy. It's ok. It will be waiting when you return. :)Janelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10449455434527590302noreply@blogger.com
