It’s said — though it’s not really true — that it takes 21 days to make a habit, to change something in your life that you don’t like or to start doing something different. What would happen if, instead of making and discarding New Year’s resolutions, you decided to take on one task or habit […]
Add A Letter to a Dollar Store Bag {Iron Craft Challenge}
Last time I completely flaked out on Iron Craft, but I’m back this week with a challenge all about the letter A. The idea was to do something with a letter a, or a craft that started with a, or something like that. Well, the girl’s name happens to start with a, so I knew […]

Though it’s not really spring yet (and I hear we might […]
