A couple weeks ago we had a sort of “unbirthday” party with my relatives for all the spring birthdays we’d been too busy to celebrate together as they happened. I made a couple small sweet hair accessories to give my cousins, and made gift tags for everyone’s goodies. The party got scheduled a bit last-minute, […]

ribbons & renovations
