Here's the 2015 National Collegiate Women's Gymnastics Championship bracket.

Most people know about NCAA men's basketball and the March Madness that leads up to the championship game. But, there is another collegiate sport happening right now: NCAA women's gymnastics. These ladies compete around the country in their own bracket that starts at regionals, then moves to semifinals and then the Super Six, which will crown the national champion. . . .

Enjoy this beach scene with me all month.

Tomorrow starts a new month: April. And like usual, I have a free desktop background download for you. But, while I was making my background, I couldn't decide between the sunny views, so I made two options. Both images come from our cruise to the Bahamas back in March. . . .

Celebrate the soon-to-be-bride with flowers and calligraphy on a chalkboard.

Congrats to the soon-to-be Mrs., and to her sister for pulling off a great bridal shower.

With so many shower puzzle pieces to assemble, I happily agreed to help Michelle with the bridal shower invites. She passed along a few ideas, and I got to drawing. Yes, pencil on paper drawing. Those vibrant florals that grace the front of the card were drawn by me. (I actually talked about all this over on my free phone background download. If you missed that one, you can download the flowers for your phone fo' free.) . . .

Cole and I tour Fort Sumter in the Charleston, South Carolina, harbor.

Welcome to the last leg of our spring break journey. You joined me in the Bahamas and lived vicariously through Disney World photos. Now, we travel north to the port city of Charleston, South Carolina. We basically only blipped through the history-filled city, hitting up Fort Sumter and Drayton Hall. . . .
