The way the rest of this year has gone, I wouldn’t […]

The Collected Crafty Collabs hop group is at it again, using those supplies we’ve squirrel away and forgotten about!!!

First day of the month… wait, how did we get to June already?!? What the… ??? Well, June it is. Can’t fight it, so we might as well run with it, eh? So when I think of June, I think of Father’s Day, summer, no school, and camping! We spent a lot of time in […]
