This Tic Tac Toe game made out of a butcher block is a fun and easy weekend project. This little darling started in the same manner as most things around here do… Me at an Estate Sale. Eyeballing something I don’t need and have no use for. But it’s $1 and I can’t pass it up. My mom asks,…
It’s hard to admit, but 40 did a number on my eyes. My whole life I’m the girl you wanted to have with you when hunting…for deer or treasures. But 40. Now “cheaters” help blurry words come to life on the page. Having a need for cheaters brings on a whole other problem….being able to…
