Hey there, remember me?
I’ve been so absent from this space (and the internet in general) for the last week. I’d love to tell you that I was doing super fun and creative stuff, but aside from a cool day trip to Ocean Grove on Monday, I have pretty much spent my days in a sea of tax preparation, bemoaning my finances. Oh, joy!
I’ve been so otherly-occupied, that I didn’t even get a chance to put together some Flickr favorites. I know, right?!
And as for the links, well, I dug them all up today. Usually I do it over the course of the week, but like I said: otherly-occupied.
Let’s hope this is an anomaly (kind of like the snow I found on my car yesterday morning – ugh, what is with this winter that won’t go away?).
I’ll resume Flickr Favorites next Friday.
Around the Web
I spend some time each day, Monday through Thursday, sharing my favorite crafty links through social media. And then I repeat them here on Fridays.

Have a lovely weekend!
Hope you get out from under paperwork soon, Lisa. Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
I managed to shed the paperwork beast, and now I get to spend the next few days being very very social – a bit of a challenge for an introvert like me, but it should still be fun 🙂 Happy Easter to you!
