I’ve been using graphic arts programs for many years, starting with the simplistic Windows Paint that came with Windows 3.1 back in the mid 90s.

Thanks to The “Cent”sible Sawyer, “Cents”able Momma, and Keeping the Kingdom First, I’ve been feeling the inspiration to join the ranks of CVS and Walgreens money savers.

2. The first Noel, the angel did say, [...]

I saw this on Adventures in JujuBoo and thought it was a neat way to share our Christmas traditions. I love Christmastime. It really is the best time of the year!
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Definitely wrapping paper! With ribbons and bows. I’m not fancy, but I like the packages [...]
