Hi there! Welcome to Day 3 of The Craft Room Tour, hosted by Angie of The Country Chic Cottage. I’m starting today’s tour, but make sure you don’t miss any of the fabulous rooms from Day 1 and Day 2 Let me start by saying that there’s not a single day that goes by that […]
Painted Dollar Store Mugs
I’m not sure if I mentioned it here before but I became a contributor to one of my favorite blogs, Saved By Love Creations. Once a month I’ll be creating a fun l’il project and posting it on SBLC. (Today I’m sharing my Painted Retro Shoes!) But before you click over there to see the […]
A Non-Valentine Valentine’s Craft
