Sorry about the absence! I have been having some technical difficulties  for a few weeks. I think I have finally worked them all out and can get back to blogging! I just wanted to quickly let you know about some giveaways coming up soon! It has almost been a year since I started blogging. It is really hard to believe how fast the time goes. I have always been doing home improvement and finding ways to save money on the things I want/need, so this has just been a way to share those ...

Randomness
I feel like time is FLYING by, these days! The end of the school year is so hectic...and I only kids in pre-school. So, I thought I would write one post and catch up on all that's been going on. 1. Rain and Storms: I could do without having to use these so often!

Recycling Project, but Failed Pouf
Beware, this post is about a partially failed sewing project. ********** A friend gave me a HUGE box of packing peanuts last year and they have been sitting in my shed ever since. The plan was to use them when I shipped things from my Etsy shop, but that has not exactly happened. So, what to do with all the thousands (literally) of styrofoam peanuts???? via Poufs are so popular right now, and I thought I would make one by recycling some of the packing peanuts. There are also so ...
