Hooray, hooray…we're almost there. Tomorrow is my due date. Sometime in the next week, we'll meet this little girl. It feels like it's been forever since we knew there was a baby on the way and it feels like just yesterday that I was wishing for another family member. I wanted to share today some…

Such a good week. Progress all around. The little one grew. The to-do list shrunk. The robot vacuum cleaned. The sun shone brightly. The tomatoes turned red. Cannot complain. This week, the stamp set I designed for Studio Calico became available. This was my first time making an unmounted stamp set and the only direction…
