The Countdown Begins!

By Barbara Bussey | December 19, 2019 |

Hello darling! Can you believe Christmas is in just 4 days?! Amazing! I enjoy thinking back about the incredible anticipation for Christmas morning, as a kid, who still believed in Santa! The whole season was magical to me.  I remember my parents excitedly saying they spotted Santa out the window, at night!   I’d rush over to see, but was always too late, to see the man in red! On Christmas Eve, after our baths, my dad would read The Night Before Christmas to us all.  To this day, I can practically recall the whole story from memory. Then, the…

What I’ve Learned – Ink Pads vs. Paint, using Iron Orchid Designs Decor Stamps

By Barbara Bussey | October 20, 2019 |

Hello friend! What a perfect fall Sunday afternoon.  I’m not quite sure how two people can make so much laundry, but we manage!  I got lots accomplished today and it felt great!
