~Mother’s Day Etched Glass Gift~ As a mother, I love to receive gifts that are made from the heart and that remind me how special it is to be a mother. Sometimes it’s hard to create a gift that mom can not only use but keep and cherish forever. Martha Stewart crafts makes that [...]

~Identify Yourself~ I have to admit it…I love monograms.

Pom-Poms Make Us Cheer! Have you jumped on the pom-pom bandwagon? Yes…I have! For me, it began with a great wreath from It’s Overflowing. Aimee did a great knockoff of Anthropologie’s pom-pom wreath.
