Hi and welcome back! We love Halloween around here. We all dress up, party, trick or treat, you know general holiday fun. A few years back, my daughter wanted to go as Elsa and Anna. I tried to talk the boys into Olaf and Kristoff, but the Ninja Turtles won out for them. Elsa was easy but the adult Anna Frozen costume was a little tougher to find. ... continue reading...
Painting Trick

The House
Hello all! Thanks for coming over to the page. I'll be posting what I'm doing with the house here, but wanted to start with a little introduction to the craziness.
