With Sincere Sympathy Butterfly Card

Hello crafty friends! This time of the year is so super busy with kids going back to school and adjusting to new schedules! I have been doing my best to stop by and visit, and I am sorry if I missed someone along the way. I am still working on my own schedule along with the rest of my family. I dislike the idea of having to "schedule" craft time, but right now it seems the only way. There is just so much I want to do in my day! :)

Here is a card I quickly put together while putting some of my craft supplies away:

I have been slowly cleaning up my craft room these past few days and I came to realize that I don't have too much stuff, my space is just too small!

So many "I Must have this" inside, it was like taking a walk down memory lane!
