Anxious for updates

Anybody else finding themselves anxious for the next derby preview update? With all this stay-at-home time on my hands, I find myself checking the site frequently, hoping for a sneak peak so I can get rolling on designs! Haha!

Hope all are doing well, and the same can be said for your loved ones!

Wanted to thank @Lady5tark for choosing the theme of The Blues. Honestly, some of the most fun I’ve ever had with a theme! So much room for creative interpretation. Makes me crave more similar challenges in the future…color-related challenges in particular.

Can’t wait to sub my designs tonight! (giddy)
