Joshua had a great birthday last week. The selection of cakes was lacking big-time at our local grocery stores so I had to get creative. Joshua's cupcake-cake was probably my worst cake-creation yet, but it all tasted great. Joshua was only interested in eating the...
I had a great time shopping at The Junk Ranch in Prairie Grove last weekend. The weather was fantastic for a day of junkin'. Right off the bat I found the spice and cigarette tins below. I've seen so many creative ways to upcycle these that I had to grab some. My...
I finally approved my new logo a couple days ago. Getting a new logo using 99designs was such a neat process. Multiple artists submitted around 60 designs and I was able to use ideas from different artists to come up with a final logo. This artist hand-drew the...
