Hello everybodeeeee!

I’m Garrett, I’m basically a human Muppet with ADHD who works in finance (don’t ask for advice) and likes to cross stitch, felt appliqué, watch true crime and collects Wizard of Oz stuff.

Two tone salmon red flowers arch over the door. Trees with green flowers and brown birds flock either side of the door. A two tone yellow border goes above and around it all. Sprigs of red roses decorate the corners. Below the verse are a snail, bunny and squirrel and more flowers in shades of red and blue.
