Trivia Night on the Bellingwood Facebook page was fun! We had more participants than ever before and y’all kept me on my toes. I’m a terrible multi-tasker – always trying to do several things at once. As I get older, those several things turn into
This has been a weird week. Do you ever have those? It’s that caught-in-the-middle, between projects, starting projects, ending projects time. I get all disgruntled. How do I fix it? Well, there’s always kitty snuggling. I create – you know – that crafty life I
