February 4, 2014 7 Comments

Hi there! Hope you had a great weekend. We have a bunch of projects in different levels of progress but the weather has not been cooperating.

November 16, 2011 8 Comments

I've never really spent much money decorating for fall. By the time I recover from Halloween it feels like Christmas is just around the corner and it seems pointless.
