Try Something New Every Month 2017
Well the creators of Try Something New Every Month have decided to take a hiatus this year. I can understand that. It is quite the undertaking to organize a blog challenge. But I am disappointed there will not be a set challenge this year. So, I decided to challenge myself. I did most of the […]
Favorite Posts So Far
Blog-tember Monday, Sept. 19: A list of your favorite blog posts you’ve written. I love my dogs. They mean the world to me. To keep them warm while hiking, I made them suits. They hate putting them on but they keep them warm. My niece got married last fall. She wanted me to make her […]
