  If you are in the Middleton Area today make sure to stop by my aunt Becky’s Holiday Craft Fair.  I was there yesterday morning and took pictures of the fabulous collection of handmade goods.    Some of the things you’ll see are: hand-crafted fall and winter decorations, fused glass jewelry, fused glass bottles and […]

I received this convo not too long ago from a […]
