I don’t make New Years resolutions. I never really have. I don’t entirely know why I’ve chosen not assign some resolutions for the upcoming year, but I do think it has something to do with me not really thinking about it. I do have a few goals I intend on reaching by the end of …
I’m part of this amazing group of women crafters that have a yearly holiday ornament exchange. This was my first year participating! It took me forever to figure out what kind of ornament to make. I also didn’t even know how to begin since it was a secret santa kind of thing so I didn’t …
