I’m one of 25 bloggers sharing Valentine’s Day decorating projects, crafts, recipe ideas and love stories. (You… Read More

  Such a lovely picture of my now almost 15-year-old daughter. The dress was a $2 bargain from Goodwill. That cute smile. Priceless. She practically wore that dress to pieces. I helped it along a little. Look at that lovely white eyelet material. And that pretty pink waistband. Did you see the pink tulle peeking out from under the hem? I… Read More
