One Bored Mommy though is hosting a giveaway from www.GummyLump.com and it’s for a Melissa & Doug Sandwich Shop Play set! My kids LOVE Mellissa & Doug products and always have […]

THE CHALLENGE…
Someone my mother-in-law, Diane, knows called her up to see if she could make a quilt for her daughter’s high school graduation. Her daughter is really into horses and had lots of ribbons, so the mom thought it would be neat to have a ribbon quilt made. Diane said okay. Little did she know that […]

The Reorganization is COMPLETE!
I know! Can you believe it! I am actually done reorganizing my craft area…I never thought it would happen. I usually get about 1/2 done and then get too distracted by other projects. This time I really stuck to it and my quarter of the basement looks great (I haven’t created anything in yet though…) […]
