so happy you are doing well Ali! You need rest and relax - it is not easy growing new life! My husband and I always had a funny joke when I was prego... I would be resting on the couch or laying down and he would say "what are you doing?"... and I would reply "can't you see I am busy creating life!".
You have inspired me to use add some digital elements to my pictures for layouts. Oh and for trying different sizes of pics... made this the other day:

Sounds like a good week. Lots of great things...including a purple light saber. What could be better!

I'm so looking forward to some more of your weekend creative projects :)

beautiful beach! Wish I could be there with you :)

As usual, great post and also enjoyed your keynote last week at CKU.
As for the purple light saber. We have hand-me-over blue and green ones and based on what is and isn't showing up from online searches you may have a challenge if you haven't already gotten one--but you did mention "hunt" and "new".
