I thought I’d share some fun pictures of my youngest performing at a Scottish Dance Festival at Thanksgiving Point. This is her performing the Highland Fling. This is the parade of the bands that happens around lunch time. All the clans parade and the bands perform. It’s quite spectacular to see all the bands performing …

I’m back! Houston was exhausting, exciting, exhilarating, and extremely fun! The Riley Blake Designs booth was over the top in pink and brown with projects coming out of every corner.
