As part of our Virtual Crop, yesterday we had a ZOOM Conference Call where we played the "Never Have I Ever" game. It was a kick! Participants were instructed to hold up 15 objects, such as pens, pencils, paint brushes or straws. Sondra read a series of statements that started with "Never Have I Ever" and if a participant HAD done that item, they discarded one of their items. We thought we'd share the fun, craft-inspired statements: "NEVER HAVE I EVER . . ." ". . . taken price tags off items I purchased at the Craft Store so I... Continue reading

Take a picture of a Home Decor Project that you've created and share it with us! We'll probably get some great ideas! If you're still awake, we wanted to make this last challenge of the weekend easy for you. And, we're going to... Continue reading

When you're allowed to sit in a restaurant again, WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO FIRST? Share with us! We may discover a new place we need to check out. Or, we may discover we all have similar favorites and we can make a future date with one another! Our dates will have... Continue reading

Thanks to the internet we learned a few things about envelopes that may (or may not) be interesting . . . The very first envelopes date back to 3500 to 3200 B.C., when ancient people in the Middle East molded clay coverings over coins during business transactions. Paper envelopes were invented in 2nd century B.C. China, usually to enclose... Continue reading
