June in Review
Hi everyone! June has come and gone, and as of tomorrow we are in the second half of 2014 - how did this happen? Time has flown, and both Melissa and I have had some fun this month. We have both tried new things during June, me with my photo/bookish tour of Prague, and Melissa with Comic Crossover. Both of these received fantastic support and some lovely feedback - and for that we both thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Melissa will continue with Comic Crossover (which I am very excited for as I need some guidance when it comes to comics) and I am hoping to do some more photo/bookish tours in the future. But in the meantime, here is our June recap!
