today you can find me at oh, hello friend

Today I am a guest over at oh, hello friend, curated by the lovely Danni. Danni’s mother was recently diagnosed with cancer, so she is taking a little blogging break to be with her family. If you have a chance, stop by to show Danni your support and to let her know that you’re thinking about through this horrible trial.  


The topic of my guest post was “Ten Ways to Brighten Today, Right this Very Minute” (not terribly original after Monday’s post but still tons of fun), and I decided to follow [a little bit] of my own advice:


I attempted list item numero cinco: Clean out the junk drawer. You’re just going to have to stop and read it to figure out how the heck such an awful task can brighten your day…

(That’s catnip in the drawer from a Mish & Rosco massacre,
I swear… I had to vacuum the entire drawer out after getting
all the tiny little beads and findings gathered up.


aaaand…


P.S. To everyone who has left me a thoughtful, sweet, encouraging comment about Nikki, thank you. Thank you all for sharing your stories and your wonderful thoughts; it means a lot to me. I don’t know when I’ll be able to look at pictures of her again without tearing up, but for now I’m happy just to have the pictures and to have had her in my life.
