The talented ladies who reside at The Hive at 1511 (Maria and Kelly of Ritzy Bee Events, Suann of Simplesong Design and Kate of Kate Headley Photography) recently announced their fall workshop schedule and I had to be sure you knew all about it in case you’re lucky enough to be in the area. Personally, …
Back when so many of you graciously took the reader survey, a sizable handful of you asked for more regular posts with a personal theme. While I definitely won’t be boring you with the mundane details of my day to day life on a regular basis, I figured I’d share a handful of snippets from …
