My little Suby! Well, my back is still not doing great. It's better, but it still hurts quite a bit in the morning.

My forsythia is in bloom! Hooray! The sun is out today and even though it's quite windy, it still feels really nice to go out and stick my face in the sunshine. Chloe is really enjoying it too.

I really dropped the ball on Valentine's Day and I feel a little dumb for that.  I've got a couple of Birthday card designs rolling around in my head right now too, so look for those soon as well. I picked up some...
