I know some people find having to stay indoors against their will (introverts no need to put down your book), but I’m going to relish this time!

The Arty Farty Retreat, everyone needs a little creative outlet...
I think this will be my shortest blog entry ever. Imagine a group of friends together, getting creative. That’s my existence today.

I’m not sure we allow ourselves the liberty of simply letting ourselves to rest or to speak to our creative selves, everyone is so goddamn busy.
