    Are you guys still working on this? I was very interested to see how it went. It’s no big deal of course, I was just curious. Love your blog regardless.

    I just had the best time going through the entire project! For some reason, your blog isn’t coming through on my reader, but I’ve hit it many times, based on your Instagram feed. Looking forward to more–when you have some time. Yes, I know how insane that sounds!
