DIY Projects, Crafts, & Paper Fun
It’s mid April and spring is officially here — the birds are singing non stop! There’s just one problem. We just had an ice storm! Would you believe I kept hearing those birds singing, even during the storm? Poor things! So this weekend we built some serious birdhouses and decorated them for our garden. These…
I’m a big fan of using all of your available space. Yes, that’s right — I’m not much of a minimalist. But don’t get me wrong. I do like a clean look. But I think when you have a lot of stuff, like say in a craft room, the best way to get a clean…
