Christmas is in twenty minutes….It feels like that anyway. The hustle and bustle of the season is in full swing, which can be good or bad?!?!

I prefer products and treatments that are more natural because I’m not sure how I feel about applying so many chemicals on my…

DIY Marbled Paper

April 22, 2020

This project happened by chance. I needed a birthday card and since the quarantine happened I can’t really go card shopping.
