When I got home from @oxfordfreepubliclibrary yesterday, I found this gorgeous photo from library director, Brittany McDougal, who found the perfect vase in her office to display the flowers she created in my #paperflower workshop 😊❤️ I also borrowed a few crafty books before I left for the day — looking forward to spending some time with books by @psimadethis & @valeriemckeehan #creativeinspiration #ilovelibraries
