CTMH Coffee Helps Retro Style

I had set up my craft room beautifully, and I'm super excited by it. I just have a temporary glitch. My daughter is in between apartments and brought everything home to us...guess where it ended up?!? So, I'm limited to what I can reach around and over to grab. I was able to get my …

CTMH Fresh Paint

It's been a productive (but exhausting!) weekend for me. This week we had carpets restretched and then I steam cleaned the carpets. That meant emptying the downstairs of all of my stamping "stuff".
