The Case of the Tangled Doll Hair {Found it on Pinterest}

Sarah White March 21, 2014 Kids / Pinterest0 Comments

A long time ago I used to do a “Found it on Pinterest” Friday post where I made something or tried something I had pinned and reported on it. As part of my spring cleaning of my Pinterest boards, I’ve decided to make an effort to do that again. I …
