Many Thanks!

whew! this week has been absolutely crazy!
a few lovely blogs have featured or mentioned me, in which i am very grateful! i'm on spring break but i barely have time to catch my breath. i've been working on the shop and another shop on etsy AND a little shop on bigcartel for charity. on top of that, i should be studying for a few exams and finishing a book for school. oopsie!

anyway, many thanks for those who have spread the word about my growing shop and those of you who have entered the giveaway! :)

love,
melissa
