April books: 1/4 (nothing new) Well, squiders, I have finished recording and editing my videos for my SkillShare class. This proved more annoying than necessary as I’ve been using ClipChamp for editing, and apparently it decided to eat the last
Is This Anything? (Card Story, Part 1)
April Books: 1/4 (The Late Mrs. Willoughby) As I mentioned…recently…at work I was donated a stack of weird yellow cards with a hole in the bottom. (I did ask various peoples, and the older woman who helps me on Tuesdays
