Just Call Me Mrs. Claus

I was at the VA Home the other day walking down the hall. As I was passing one of the residents he asked me if I believed in Santa. (An aside here. I don’t believe in Santa.

A couple ofContinue reading “Magazines vs. Blogging”

They don’t just come in at Christmas-time anymore do they? Birthdays, Easter, moves…almost any occassion warrants a photo card to be mailed out (notContinue reading “Not So Crafty photocard tip”
