How fabulous would life be, if the most pressing matter on your mind was which Amy Butler Midwest Modern fabric to use in your new holiday skirt? Join me in this happy little fantasy world, won’t you? And solve my most pressing dilemma: Martini… …or Optic Blossom? The plan is to wear the same black […]
Read More: Decisions, decisions…I woke up with morning with holiday swapping on my mind. I started working on the CD portion of the exchange, but quickly burned-out on All Things Christmas and suddenly wanted nothing to do with the whole thing.
