Hello Poetteers, I'm a day late to the Muse Party but I thought I should still come. You can find the other guests here ! 1. Who is your muse (or character)?

Dressing up or keeping it casual? Right now we are keeping it casual I have on a beanie, kimono and jeans. My muse's is in a vest and jeans. 3. It’s a potluck! Did you bring something yummy!
