Eclectic Whatnot Giveaway & Pumpkin Pie Winners
While at Blissdom, I had the pleasure of eating lunch one day with a bunch of the crafty girls including Lindsey, Jess, Lorie and Ruthanne.

Living Room Desk Before & After
For those of you who cry or hyperventilate at painted wood…look away. Consider yourself warned. I did it. I painted my great-grandfather’s desk. Calm down. Relax. Allow me to explain. This desk has been with me since high school. Through college, two cats and about twelve moves. The finish was tired, had a waxy build-up […]

Living A Dream
I vividly remember starting my business. I remember having a nervous tummy and sweaty palms as I filled out my PA-100 to register my business with the state. I remember sitting in bed after midnight scribbling things in my idea and to-do notebook. I remember brainstorming with friends and family members about a perfect name. […]
