This was done using a reference digital painting by Larry... Continue Reading →
This is one crazy week. Everyone in the family has a doctor visit of some kind except for the youngest child. But, she's not in the clear. She has an orthodontics appointment next week.

Earlier this year I was looking at the Silhouette Cameo and Portrait to supplement my crafting hobby, especially the Portrait. The Portrait costs $180, which was something I didn't have. I soon started to see giveaways for the Portrait on my Facebook feed and crafting blogs I follow so I would enter in these giveaways. ... Continue Reading →
