Another busy week during which I created 3 types of designs: photo template smartphone cases, light blue and white buffalo plaid with monogram home decor and gifts, and register to vote items.
And then a wide selection of Light Blue and White Gingham Pattern with Monogram items:
Created a Register to vote design in a few color variations and started adding it to products:
I also shot 73 photographs and 7 videos. Culled 30 photos, 1 video, and rated the rest. Did more work on my photography archive.
Watched and read more business related content.
Pinned to Graduation Party Ideas and Gifts, Black and White Party Ideas, Mother's Day Gift Ideas, 50th Birthday Ideas, LGBT Pride, and Ways to Resist boards at Rocklawn Arts on Pinterest.

To be fair...
At noon at the top of the hill, I heard the owl hooting. A few minutes later when I reached the other end of the street, I heard the rooster crowing.
Both seemed untimely, but to be fair, I'm not usually out at that hour either.

While it was great you put some sunscreen on your face before heading out into the bright sun, next time be sure to hit your ears as well!
