My daughter is an expert at shopping the thrift stores and finding a great deal. When she asked me to make her a tote bag similar to the ones she'd seen online, I knew exactly where to start. I found a large, plain canvas bag and ironed on a fun saying with Joy embroidered letters. […]

I have been a scrapbooker for 16 years, so I have lots and lots of scrapbooks. I only use one type of album, so even though I buy them in different colors, I have trouble telling them apart on my shelves. Is this our recent Disney trip? Our last cruise? Who knows? That's where JOY […]
