As soon as the dollar store put Christmas merchandise on the shelves, I was there to snag a few things. Not that I need them, of course. Although, one can never have too many Christmas ornaments, can one? Not in my world. I resisted the sparkly tree ornaments, festive mugs and plates, and other goodies […]
Painted Snowman Tealight
I painted this Snowman Tealight Shade a couple weeks ago for my friend Beckie. What a treat to guest post on Infarrantly Creative!
