Today's blog project comes to you courtesy of my fridge. As usual after getting up and having a shower I went downstairs to make my morning coffee. Often a project idea will come to me overnight but today my mind was blank. It was only as I went to the fridge to get the milk that I thought about ... VIEW POST
Try A Simpler Way To Wrap A Gift
Do you give little token gifts to people who help you, or add them to children's stockings? It occurred to me that even though they might be small and inexpensive there's no reason why these gifts can't be dressed up.
