Hey guys! I have something a little bit different to share today - no crochet patterns, printables, or fun craft projects, sorry. I don't even have much in the way of pretty photos, but I do have lots of not so pretty photos to share! HA. I have mentioned a few times that we moved recently, and today I want to give you guys a mini-tour of the new place and talk a bit about the work we have done so far and our plans for the place.

I also happen to be a slightly insane Disneyland fanatic, and I especially love vintage Disneyland stuff. So, I came up with the idea of using reproductions of vintage Disneyland posters for art, and here's the color scheme/theme board I have come up with so far. What do you think? I am getting super excited about it! ... [Read More]
