Weekly review: Week ending April 24, 2015
Posted: - Modified: | review, weekly
Very fuzzy-brained this week; sore throat on Saturday and Sunday, too. That's okay. Taking it easy. =) Somehow managed to draw a ton anyway, thanks to the ease of setting up five digital index cards and the itch to complete all of them.
Oh, and I finished the taxes for 2014, yay!
