First I want to apologize to Paul Simon, I thought it was pretty clever. I received a pack of Lesley Riley’s TAP (Transfer Artist Paper) a couple months ago. Between my health and lack of color ink my printer it literally has stay in the package (Lisa Fulmer is cringing as she reads this) but … Continue reading
I made flash cards for my daughter when she was 2 (she still has them). I always assumed they would be passed down to the Booga. Not so much my daughter refuses to give the Booga her Flash Cards. So I am back to making flash cards this time I am cheating. Last time I … Continue reading

I have my grandmothers recipe but I have had no luck in the depth south making them. WAY TO STICKY!!! … Continue reading
