Well, I’ve had an exciting (certainly not boring) couple of weeks since I last posted. On Wednesday, 5 July, I went in for a… Read More »

Miss You by Peekaboo Farm Cuties!

This is what I want for Christmas

There are so many Christmas stamp sets to choose from but I had to go back and use the Sweet Stockings Bundle. These little critters are so adorable but I especially love the puppy image.

What is your favorite dish from Thanksgiving?… Read More »
