Tiny Poison Bottle Vignette DIY
I know it's a little early for Halloween crafts, but ever since Halloween decor started hitting the stores, the wheels in my head have been spinning! I just love to create Halloween projects.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
I've always loved books. As a child, I would spend hours in the library reading. I don't get to read as often as I wish I could anymore, but literature has made a strong impact on my life.

Another, who goes by the nickname Max, is a nod to my favorite childhood book, Where the Wild Things Are. I hope that I can inspire all four of my children to escape and dream in books the way I used … [Read more...]
