What a week! I probably shouldn’t call myself out, but did anyone notice I missed my Friday post yesterday? Eek – so sorry! This week I celebrated my birth [thanks mom and dad!], decorated for a wedding [first time ever as Rardon Design, and not just a friend-helping-out-a-friend], and made some progress on the Rardon home! Since it wasn’t a normal week, it calls for a not-so-normal blog post! Today I’m going to share a…
