I thought I’d take a look back at my “26 before 27″ list from my birthday last January. I can’t believe I’ll be having another birthday so soon! I’ve done quite a few things on the list, not all, but a nice chunk. There are still a few things I definitely want to try and…
My craft room has been slowly taken over by a band of poetry reading, bank robbing, ballerina sock monkeys. They have finally been boxed up and shipped to Texas where they will be finding new homes with little kids who were affected by the wild fires. I am thoroughly in love with CraftHope. I love…
