We’ve had the most gorgeous sunsets here recently. Captured this one from my parents’ house on Friday. Time // 9:10 a.m. Place // at home in my office/craft room. Eating // nothing at the moment.

Thinking // about all we have to do today. Creating // last week’s Project Life. Hoping // to incorporate my crafting on the blog. Needing // to not be addicted to caffeine anymore. Anticipating // the newcomer’s luncheon at the church we’ve been going to. And chocolate ice cream. *** So I mentioned that I gave up coffee and chocolate for Lent, right?
