Farmhouse Gallery Wall
It’s done! Happy dance, happy dance! I quoted this project at “it’ll only take me about three hours”… oops, business mistake #1. This is the wall we were looking to mimic: This was the plan I came up with to keep the feel, but change out the names: THIS is the finished product: This farmhouse […]
What Moms Really Want for Mother’s Day – Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
I look forward to Mother’s Day. It’s the one day a year when your family (should) acknowledge/s your efforts and sacrifices.
