Well, I don't know if you're going to believe this, but our Seriously Creative Design Team is all a-flutter right now over the long distance romance going on between our fearless leader, Tara, and her now-fiance!

Hope all you moms had a lovely Mother's Day. Mine was...interesting, let's say! But hey, at least I got some crafty time in! TTFN, and thanks for looking, Roxy.
