What I Can’t Let Go Of:

A charming, delightful rom com on Netflix starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody!

Such a fun escape! Delightful and Charming with MANY great belly laugh.

It very quickly became my new Schitt’s Creek.

Definitely PG13+ (just so you know)

A stack of folded, neutral-toned fabric samples is displayed on a shelf. Each sample has a small label attached. Beneath them, various fabric swatches with buttons and textures hang for display. The setting appears to be a fabric or upholstery store.

On the Blog This Week

Crystals, Anyone?

Move over pipe cleaners — there’s a new kid taking over this easy, classic STEM craft!

This post contains everything you need to make your own crystal encrusted trees — as well as how to preserve them so they don’t turn chalky white and disintegrate.

You’ll even learn the secrets of how to make the crystals larger, like on the small pink tree, or smaller like on the tall burgundy tree.

Remember, these tips are exclusive content for my creative community.

They will be in the Saturday newsletter emails only

(and sometimes in the FB and IG stories for my followers there).

It’s just one way I can say thank you to all those who support me time after time!

Don’t worry, you too, can become a House Mate!

Three arms wearing different gold bangles are showcased on a white background. One bracelet features circular links, another is a smooth band, and the third has a twisted design. The text "Gold Bangles" is in the upper-left corner.

Check them out!

Great prices (and reviews)! All from Etsy.

Think gifts! (self-gifting, too 🤭😉😍)
