Shell Treasure Box DIY

  HAPPY NATIONAL MOD PODGE DAY! I’m thrilled to be participating in National Mod Podge Day (did you know there was such a thing?) with a fresh DIY craft project from yours truly and a special giveaway package from our pals a PLAID. First things first- let’s get crafty!

August 8, 2015

It doesn’t last that long, so that means a lot of weeding, gardening, and then just sitting out and enjoying the lovely results.
