Pioneer Woman at Heart

When my 17 year-old had asked me, "do we have to do anything today?"  I responded with "eat, drink, and be merry!" I got my crafting mojo flowing yesterday, and created a fun planner for 2014.  Thanks to Patty, at Lemon Lane Cottage , I dug out my scraps, decoupage and glue, and put some pizazz into a plain covered planner.  I'll admit, it felt good to craft without a plan, and without a deadline.   Read more by clicking on "read more" below....
