Thanks, Holly
I’m quite positive this isn’t the first post I’ve entitled “Thanks, Holly”, because Holly of Decor8 has given me some incredibly generous coverage over the past few years. But I’m beyond thrilled with what she wrote about my things on her wonderful blog yesterday, because it came totally out of the blue. (Also, she mentioned …
