Dear Mango, I had no idea that your sweet yummyness would take me to another place… A place of warm rain and soft winds. A place where I wore my bathing suit all the time, and drank umbrella-adorned drinks without embarrassment. A place where we splashed in the pool and listened to beautiful music. [...]

Nina @ Pretty Little Projects told me she made her own decoupage kids art beads using my tutorial! Here they are, strung into a knotted necklace. Click here for more lovely pictures.

…I like it. Got a prob with that? Didn’t think so. It’s just like I don’t have a problem with your {insert your favorite activity here that I don’t understand}. If you love it, if it relaxes you, if you find reward from it, keep doing it. And I’m happy for you, that you’ve found [...]
