I learned last year when I made this Meal Planning Chalkboard that if I make a point to schedule it beforehand, I’m more likely to stick with something like eating healthy. This year, my goal is to add a little more exercise to my routine. I subscribe to the theory of 80% compliance (I just […]
Burlap New Year’s Eve Coasters
Last week, I was playing around with the Silhouette Glitter Heat Transfer Material to make quick personalized Christmas stockings and realized that the black glitter material would work beautifully for New Year’s Eve projects.
