Links I Love Week 21
This past May will go on record as one of my most stressful months, ever. I look back at college and think all those test, papers and exams all during the same week was nothing compared to this. My hard drive with all of my photos of the last 8 years is not 100%. Hopefully, I was able to pull over what was needed onto Dropbox and I can copy the rest onto a new drive on Monday. No drive is ever fool proof and backups upon backups are essential. This was on top of a very busy month.
This week will be busy as I prep for my one and only Summer show, Wells Street Art Festival. If you are in Chicago, I will be in booth 221. (hopefully this is my usual spot but I don’t have a map) Stay tuned on Instagram for more details closer to the show on my exact location. The show runs Saturday/Sunday and it is a very FULL two days.

GIVEAWAY!! I love both chocolate and coffee, I enjoy them both on a daily basis. These Wild Ophelia cold brew bites are the perfect pair of chocolate and coffee together. I have been sharing these a lot on Instagram so I figured I would do a giveaway so I could spread the love of chocolate and coffee! I also love the company because it is all about supporting female entrepreneurs. I am giving away 4 packs (one of each flavor) Each bite is 1/4 the caffeine in a cup of coffee. I enjoy them in the afternoon by my desk. This is only valid for US residents only.
