What is your favorite time of year? Mine is Fall – when the leaves are turning…okay, well actually in the Southwest, when I can go outside again without sweating! Ha ha! And Fall is a great time to gather friends for, you guessed it, a Halloween party! I am having a Hocus Pocus themed party…

Do you have summer reading programs in your area? I used to love going to the library and picking out 8-10 books as a kid, then checking them off on my checklist to win prizes. If you are a summer book lover, maybe it’s time to “treat” yourself to your own prize. I’ve got just…
I was in the store the other day and saw a really pretty 4th of July wreath, done with loops of burlap ribbon and metal stars. When I went to look at the price, I couldn’t believe how much they were asking for it! As crafters, you know what we say next, right? I could…
