Scherenschnitte
When I was born my parents created scherenschnitte birth announcements. It is a crafty process requiring mass amounts of patience.

I dropped a tear in the ocean, When it’s found, is when I’ll stop loving you. This quote was engraved on a plaque we saw at Ecola Park and it perfectly summarized our day on the coast. Peaceful, fun, and full of love. It’s amazing to think this could have been on of our last […]
