Several adults also stole a turn or two 🙂 Continue reading “Balloon Stress Ball/Toy For Kids (or adults)”
Be Kind Sign From Old Boards
So we had gotten some old boards from a friend who knew I love to make things. Two of the boards were a dark mossy green that I loved. They are beaten up and have old nails in them but I think it adds to the charm :). Continue reading “Be Kind Sign From Old Boards”
