It's all happening.  Or at least the Prairie Arts Festival is happening tomorrow, September 4th.  For the past couple of weeks, I have had entirely too much spray glue in my life.  That being said I am happy with the notebooks and journals I have made recently.  My new notebooks and journals are way better than the first ones I made, so that is exciting. Here is a tiny preview of what you can expect from my corner of our booth.

Living in a college town can be quite tiresome.  Knowing that Starkville is a transitional place for most of its residents doesn't make it easier when they leave.  Two of my best friends moved to Lake Charles, LA a week ago today.   Although I know it is for the best, Kirby and Dawn feel like family now and it is hard not to be sad.   They are two of the most intelligent, supportive, kind people that I have ever met and I hope they know they are...
