Memories of the Christmases of my Childhood

I received compensation for my work on this post. This post was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own. In just a few days, my oldest daughter will be coming home for the first time since she left for college in July. I may talk and text with her nearly every day,…

My friend, Lisa (ie, my resident crafting genius), sent me a new Christmas craft project that I am loving SO MUCH. I was not familiar with wood burners for crafting use outside of boy scouts before Lisa told me about the wooden gift tags she made this year. Now I’m itching to add a…
