A  backpack and a helmet saved our son’s life.  Well… we’re pretty confident that God had a hand in it too. Last week our son Mitch was hit and then run over by an SUV on his way home from school.  The support and prayers from our friends, family and community has been overwhelming.  And […]

I wanted to show you what I came up with for a little Valentine’s Day display for my nemesis, the mantel. I have the worst time with the proportions of this room, but I’m fairly happy with this fun and simple Valentine’s Day Mantel.

Remember last week when I told you about the Top 5 craft products that I (personally) was all excited about after the CHA (Craft & Hobby Association’s) Winter Trade Show?  Well, I had also been feeling a smidge  a wee bit  kind of   fairly uninspired as of late.  (Yesterday I shared the AWFUL areas […]
