Christmas Themed Masks
Even elves need to wear masks this holiday season. It's sad but true. My little elf turned up at my front door yesterday, outfit on point except for the missing mask. No problem. We got busy and got her fixed up. Have you tried the Creative Grids mask template? It is my absolute favorite. You…

Coming Together in Fellowship
Thanks for bearing with me while I took a short break. Last week was a rough one for many of us and my outlook on life was not the best. A few days finding joy in small close things has helped me tremendously. Something that occurred in my neighborhood this weekend has made me so…
