What are you all doing this Friday evening and weekend. Pat and I had our first official date on Friday the 13th 6 years ago today {wow!}. I remember being so nervous that we were going to “jinks” our first date. It turned out to be the best first date ever and I would marry that man 3 short years later. Our first date was in Gainesville, where Pat was living at the time.  I remember driving to Gainesville with his sister, Laura – my best friend from college, feeling so sick to my stomach nervous. She dropped me off at his place and we went for sushi and laughed and talked and smiled and realized we had a lot in common. The nervous butterflies left and the in-love butterflies appeared. The rest was history…

Have a wonderful weekend & safe weekend. Check back next week as we start featuring some pretty paper goods we have been working on as well as new designs going up on the Design Bar.
