You can tell I didn’t have a great month on my One Little Word project last month because I’ve taken this long into the next month to write about it. My focus for last month was “create action,” which was fitting because the challenge for the group was also to take action in a way […]
Staking Out another Crafty Corner
A couple of months ago I took an online course that was all about planning blog content and tools that would make blogging easier. While I’ve only sort of kept up with the program (and need to get back into it soon!), one thing that did comeout of the class was that I met LaToya, […]
