Do you ever get so excited that you prance? And haven’t you wondered to yourself how to make a candle that burns for 72 days. I mean don’t all rational and normal thinking minds wonder these types of things. If someone told you that you could make a candle for less than $6 that would…
Have you ever made a pillow from a placemat? I love to have a pillow at my back when I’m sitting in a chair or on a sofa. But what I love even more than that is HOLDING a pillow…you know, like holding a fluffy puppy or your favorite stuffed teddy bear. It is just…

Between November 1st to January 1st, there’s lights and wreaths and…
Have you ever used a faux rug for a facelift? I did once…but not on MY face, though. I drove through a storm the other day. It was bright and sunshiny at home when I jumped in our big black Denali and turned the front wheels toward I 70 West. I scrolled on my phone…

Y’all, I have a thing for chiggers… but not a good thing…~I DO NOT like them. I can still hear my mother’s voice wafting across the pasture as I headed off on another adventure. One of my favorite things as a kid was walking along the road near our house and picking wildflower bouquets. “Rachel,…
