I'm serious. I'm done with seating charts forevermore! Now that we got that warm welcome out of the way, let me explain - I haven't crafted - truly crafted - in months. What I mean by that is, I haven't made something that someone is paying for and carries a big sense of responsibility for …
Hi crafty friends! I know I usually post on Tuesdays, but since Prime Day begins today at 3:00pm EST, I figured saving some cash was worth breaking the rules! Here are some items for a few crafting disciplines you may want to look into and take advantage of the Prime Day discounts - Dual …
Guys, can you believe it?! Just over a year ago, I began this series of posts following the journey of my best friend's road to the altar, from the proposal & the surprises I gathered for her, the engagement party & proMOHsal, saying yes to the dress, the bridal shower, the stamp serendipity, the bachelorette, …
