Then, nothing happened … until today. Well, at the beginning of July, I got Shingles:( I seriously had NO IDEA how sick I would get or how long it would take to… Read More »

Happy TGIF Friends! This week, the TGIF Challenge Blog has a great sketch that’s perfect for layering and florals!!! I’m still obsessed with Pigment Sprinkles. They are so bright and beautiful. I particularly love how one color of sprinkles turns into multiple coordinating colors when mixed with water. Until now, I had only used Pigment Sprinkles for backgrounds. So I decided to venture out and use them as a coloring… Read More »
