    Hello! Welcome to the Happy List. I hope you’ve had a terrific week. I also hope that reading this list every week is the teeny tiniest of bright spots for you! This week on the blog was unofficial Easter craft week. I shared the Easter Egg Embroidered Napkins that I made and the Wood-Burned Easter Eggs I created. If you’ve been trying new things as I have been lately, I’d love to see what you’ve created. Maybe we can inspire each other! A friendly reminder, if you see something you enjoy here, please share it with your friends. Eyeballs on website pages or on Instagram or Facebook help keep this blog trucking…
