Links I Love Week 29
I am back from Italy and survived jet lag and hunger pains. I had a busy week catching up on work and I have some exciting projects in the works. Stay tuned for later this month! I also really want to get the Italy new images up in The Print Shop. A lot of people have been asking if those will be for sale and the quick answer is YES! I just need to edit and comb through all the images for my favorites. Also, I had a request for an Italy calendar this year. I love this idea and that is another big YES! I am working on both the Paris calendar in two sizes and an Italy calendar and they will be available for preorder in September.
