My latest project. Not that they’re particularly complicated designs, but I created all the letters myself. #TryingToTry Alternate versions: I don’t typically use gradients, but I’m all about trying stuff. What do you think? Have a favorite?

I have enough to do, so can I read now?
Another good week with lots to do. Feeeeeels good. I think Friday was the only day I didn’t have anything I had to do after work. So I bought a fancy fan. Monday was my second time volunteering at the library. Still filled with excitement at being there. Still wanted to do more. I offered…
