I wrote about gluten free snacks for the big game that is coming up in one short week, but I wanted to add one more gluten free option. And what goes better with football than chili? This is my own chili recipe and it has a secret ingredient! Except, I’m going to tell you what …
Do you remember Choose Your Own Adventure books? I LOVED those. We’re going to do that here on the blog. And by we, I mean you and me, reader! You are going to choose my next crafting adventure. Sound fun? Good! I bet you’re wondering how this will work. Me too, sort of. Here’s my …
I’m going to tell you right from the get go, if you are into perfect, this is not the post for you. This post is about handmade with glorious imperfections. I made earrings out of polymer clay and I adore them! And you can make them,too! So there are two different styles and I’m …
