cardboard-xmas-tree

I have a huge stack of flattened cardboard boxes in the garage from the move last summer. I keep thinking I need to put them on Craig’s List so someone else who’s crazy enough to move can benefit. Until then though, I wanted to use a few for Christmas decorations. Crazy? Maybe, but it’s a […]

Decoupaged-Foam-Pumpkin

It’s amazing how many ways there are to decorate pumpkins, don’t you think?
