Peg thank you so much I appreciate the gift so much um and we're having a roof guy come by today to do some cleaning and spread the zinc powder stuff on the roof so we don't get moss those of you who live in areas where you have to do that know what I'm talking about I'm from California so I don't know too much about it just that we need to do it and um the gutters seem to be clean but I think the valleys and the roof I know they need to be cleaned and the downspouts I have a feeling might be clogged so he's gonna like do all that anyway so I'm just hanging out working on my inspiration journals while I'm doing that I you can probably maybe see on the table behind me maybe I don't know if you can see I've got journals out paper trimmers tape runner I've got a lot of pictures to cut I spent yesterday printing them um and some of these journals I'll be able to share with you all um I don't know how I'm going to do that yet uh if I'm going to put them in Etsy or if I'm going to put
