Oh my gosh, I am on Design*Sponge today!


So today after some conversations with Grace over at Design*Sponge I was so overjoyed to see I fit the bill to be shown on her fabulous website. If you haven't checked it out yet please do. There are many fun ideas of things to create, places to see, and many homes to dream living in. I hope that you visit her site and support her. I will continue to try to submit projects to her for sure.
ps. If you couldn't tell, this made my day!!!!!









*** Here's a little bio of the site if you aren't familiar (I got this off their "about" section, check out how awesome Grace is!) ***
