As promised in my last post, I will be writing about the “fun” stuff this time around.
I am going to [...]

Crafty? Not so much…

These days my FAV site is weddingbee.com. They have the best forum where you can get answers to questions and support! The only thing is there are tons of super crafty girls on here that are starting to make me feel totally inadequate because I’m just not (crafty that is). But they’ve inspired me to [...]
