Get Well Cards and my first crafting giveaway!

Then add in Tuesday's trip to the drive-in until 1:15 AM (and we left early...Transformers 4 was NOT a ... View Post

In our new house the majority of our main living space is on the top floor; but there is one room that gives my kitchen a run for the money as my favorite spot: my craft room! I've enjoyed ...
