I think they have decided on the one they want and will most likely be moving … [Read more...]

Happy Valentine’s Day! Remember the fun little gift & candy boxes I made last year for the kiddos? The ones with Dr. Seuss quotes? Turns out, they were big hits with the kids.

Well, we are far enough into January now that I suppose we should be looking forward and not back. But, I had some pictures from the last few weeks that I thought I’d post. Just because. It is a slow day around here today on the blog – and a busy day at work – so a quick and easy post is just what my boss … [Read more...]
As I promised you yesterday when I showed you Part One, I have the second round of DIY gifts my family exchanged at Christmas.

Happy Monday! I know you have been on the edge of your seats since Christmas 2011 waiting for me to show you our 2012 DIY Family Gift Exchange. I just know it.
