Links I Love Week 32
It was a big week at home. We wrote the copy for our wedding invitations which were very exciting. I am still navigating through the switch from laptop to iMac and I had a few hiccups this week and got locked out of both computers. Luckily, I purchased apple care with my computer and they were so patient and helpful.
Readers voted on a Paris calendar cover for 2023 this week. I have it narrowed down to two and they are currently with my designer. I look forward to this every year as I know so many of you do as well. You can sign up for the email list to make sure you get the presale price in September. I am also working on new notecards, notebooks, and wrapping paper!
Grab your coffee and croissants and join me for links I love.

OMG, thank you for the flight refund reminder! I booked some tickets about 6 weeks ago for a cross country trip and paid waaaaay too much thinking it was just what I was going to have to pay to see family. I just checked with the airline (Alaska) and using their chat function I was able to get a flight credit of about $600 without having to cancel and rebook.
Hi May!
This makes me so happy! Thank you. I hope you have a great trip and put that saved money towards something great.
