Ahh, to be a kid again . . . Cos TCF SUMMER CAMP IS HERE!

Do you remember going to summer camp and feeling like the days and popsicles would never end?  I do.  My favorite parts of camp were always crafting, duh.  I can’t even imagine how pumped I would have been to go to an all crafting summer camp.  I might have exploded from joy.  So, I apologize […]

Real Talk.

In my past life I (Polly) was a full time crafter and part time blogger.  As someone who earned a living from my creativity it was really important for me to blog because it let my customers hear my real voice, it gave me an opportunity to connect with people who were buying my products […]
