No work, no crafting, no worries.
Elizabeth even had a pj’s day today while we decorated our tree.
In other words- one great weekend. I’m going to go eat the last [...]

Normally I’m just behind the scenes, but when I was told we’d do holiday gifts this month I jumped in and made a fun little project to share. I created the project of the day on Fiskars today! Representing dogs and their place in holiday giving.

I’m working on a collage inspired by Pride & Prejudice- it even has pages from the book on it. Wanna see?
