I gotta say, I am glad to see April make its way out the door. There was far too much work craziness for my liking. Fingers crossed that May runs a lot smoother.
Luckily I have a ton side projects for that sweet sweet stress relief. One of my favorite projects is the cross stitch winter landscape that I am working on. One of my New Years resolutions was to learn a new craft and I think I am making some good headway with that goal. BTW, this is the closest I ever want to get to snow and cold weather.
