In April, Michelle (Funky Fashion Style) began a new fashion challenge. Michelle felt she needed something to push her to do some print mixing. And, so the Final Friday challenge was born! This means the last Friday of the month would be dedicated to a print mixing challenge. Luckily, she asked me to co-host with …
And Cyber Monday, too.. I bet you’d be surprised to learn that, originally, Black Friday had absolutely nothing to do with shopping! It referred to the change of color in retailers’ ledgers. It was first used in…wait for it…1869!! That year saw a financial crisis when the US’s gold standard tanked. Most stores were “in …
I’m not sure about where you live, but here, in the Midwest, winter seems to have descended upon us! We really had a mild fall, and even though the calendar says we’re still in fall, we’ve had snow on several days now. Last week, it was even measurable! Today is the third Thursday of November …

It seems like summer has been going on forever yet just got here. Does anyone else feel that way? Today is the third Thursday of August, and it’s time for another style challenge with my friends of Ageless Style! If you’re not sure what that means, I’ll tell you. Each month, one of us picks …

“Behind the Wall of Sleep” This month has raced by, hasn’t it? Honestly, it seems like it was just yesterday, I was writing about not making resolutions for New Years! Since this is the last Monday in June, it must be time for Songful Style, the brainchild of Suzy and Shelbee. They decided to play …
Scouting it out… Nigel and I have been considering moving house. Before moving to Brownsburg a few several years ago, we lived in the same house for almost 25 years. We built that one and had done many remodels and updates over the years. I loved that house, but we decided to move to be …
