Trying a new thing of not putting any items on the to do list for holidays and weekends. Let’s see if it works? Gwen’s probably happy about this personal and professional development.

A lot of you have asked for my take on this, and while anyone can use the fae in a book, you should be aware they are not ~exactly open source and they ~will ask you to sign a contract! Don’t worry. You won’t need to bring a pen 🙂
