Apple Stamping? or Potato Painting? or Sweet Tater Arts and Crafts???

You know what’s great?  When you occasionally get to do something at work that you normally do just for fun.  Today, that involves planning a craft project for a library program.  I’m far from picking a project, but I have had some fun research time on Pinterest Block printing with fruits and veggies as your…

Warm, Fall Inspiration

Fall is my favorite season.  It has so much going for it–between the crisp weather and the ability to wear comfy sweaters and boots to work, it’s hard to go wrong.  It’s like an invitation to wrap yourself in a warm blanket and just enjoy life for a few months. But for the past few…
