The 2011 ’50 Book Challenge’

The 365 Project – the first 15%

Inside The Treehouse: My Home Office

Much Love Monday – Fuzen Glass Jewelery
I like jewelery - but it has to be chunky or colourful. Or even better, BOTH! Last time I was down in Greytown I bought a beautiful pair of Fuzen Glass earrings at Flax Gallery (the gallery in Greytown that Mom works in). I just love that stunning teal colour on the...
