I had a great time playing with options for my daughter’s bedroom once I finally got the go ahead, so now I look forward to sharing the final result with you! It took a lot… Read More
Stripping. Hmmm.
I have learned a few more things about stripping: The hard stuff works so much faster. Laying it on thick really works. Kinda sounds like I’m referring to a night out clubbing, doesn’t it? But I assure you, nothing doing up in the club for this gal, I’ve been spending my time in the far… Read More
