Thank You Card for a Freshly Made Sketch

A new month and a lot going on! I haven't posted lately because of some major life events. Our family friend, Greg, passed away last week after a courageous battle with cancer. He only lived a way too short 15 years but they were filled with sassiness and fun and he'll be dearly missed!
And on a personal note, I've taken on a new part time job. While I'll be working at home, I hope to be able to post more regularly. We'll see!?!
