Hi everyone!
This past week I spent some time at my computer designing some new stencils!
I admit when our new world’s issues hit, my creativity was wiped away for a spell. I feel it coming back though so thank goodness for healing!
One way that I found some respite through all our troubles was through working on puzzles…
Why I love doing puzzles (and why they are so healthy!) by Funky Junk Interiors
I’m now on my fourth! And not only has the practice brought a special calm over me, my creativity started to return! Come on over and read how puzzles are healing me in THIS post.
I’m now navigating my way through the racism topic. I want to support and do the right thing, but I’ve come to realize I’m in a deep learning phase and have to get a little more quiet before I can become vocal in the right ways. Education is key with this one… and sharing and supporting along the way.
So I thank-you once again for bringing over such unique creativty! Here’s some wonderful highlights from last week’s link party…

Donna,
Your screen door is amazing!
I can’t wait to see your new stencils. My closest retailer was out of stock.
They were opening for a couple hours and I was happy to get out of the house.
It felt great to do a little antique shopping.

A nice weekend XOXO
Looking forward to seeing your new stencils. Have a great weekend, Donna! It’s going to be rainy one over here.
Thanks for featuring my little key holder! Can I hire you to write the captions for me pieces, lol. You’re awesome!
I’m so glad to hear you found some peace with the puzzles. 🙂
