We made it to California on Saturday and it's been a little non-stop since. This is an interesting adjustment, as I keep reminding myself this isn't temporary. (And also that no one cares that the trees in Maryland were still only budding.) But we're here until the wedding. That's totally exciting and a tiny bit insane.

Yesterday, my mom said with a smile on her face, "Elise, I have decided that I am just going to enjoy the month of April and not stress about this wedding."

"GOOD." I said, "that is totally my plan too." Let's stick to the plan, Mom.

ALSO IN APRIL :

I have summer kits in process again! This was my favorite shop item last year and I am happy to be bringing it back. Similar style, different colors, text and papers. I will be sharing photos later in the week and hope to get them up in the shop by Friday. I can't wait to get a few more supplies and get mine started. Hopefully I'll keep up with it better this year.

I've got a photoshoot (I feel crazy using that word) idea. I hope it doesn't fail now that I've spent so much time typing about it.

I might just marry a field of poppies. These flowers, they slay me.

    Those flowers are beautiful. I think the orange wedding these is perfect for you. And it is exciting that the Maryland trees were budding; that’s how they are in Connecticut where I’m visiting my family, and we’re happy about it too.

    Great flowers, I love that tie. I can’t wait to see the summer kit. I still have mine from last year, I just found where I put it. I have all the photos to put in it, just need to sit down and do it. I love your little books and kits. Hope the photoshoot goes great.
