Good morning, friends! I actually had a fairly relaxing weekend and am ready to enjoy another busy week -- how about you?

These were a big hit with my moms, especially since three of them got to take one home. :) Here's the how-to! Supplies you'll need: glass cylinder … [Read more...]

February 27, 2013 by · 8 Comments
My youngest son is fundraising for an upcoming pilgrimage to Spain and Portugal with his church youth group. This is my third pilgrimage in the last five years, so I'm experiencing a little fundraising burnout. Nonetheless, when they decided to do a silent auction and wine tasting this spring to help top off their funds, I agreed to contribute something for the auction, of course. The hubs and I will be on our Caribbean junket at the time of … [Read more...]
