Disclosure: I love Valentine's Day. Single or attached, consumerist or not, I love the pink, the sparkles, the hearts and the chocolate.

DIY Paper Peonies
So I saw these INCREDIBLE paper flowers on Martha Stewart one day... and decided I would like to try some.

Change is something we can't fight. As much as I struggle and resist, it always comes. I have to convince myself to change my ways of thinking, creatively, especially when creativity has run from me. Though I had a good year, the last few weeks of this year have been creatively dry [hence the fact that I haven't updated anything or even really made anything that wasn't a Christmas gift].
And since the New Year brings change...
