Joy to the world, and Merry Christmas. It just has an even nicer ring to it when it’s stamped on silver. I love silverware and I love to talk, so it such seems like a great marriage to me. SILVER + WORDS = FUN CHRISTMAS decorating. I made these using metal stamps that I got […]
Homespun Christmas – Handmade Holidays
I consider myself craft-challenged, and you regular readers know where I’m headed here. Yes, it’s time for this week’s installment of… Anita’s clumsy craft.
