Sad Saturday- The Chair Experiment

You know what’s the saddest part about today’s Sad Saturday? That I didn’t even realize until a week ago that I had totally missed January’s Sad Saturday! Never even thought about it. I’d like to say it was because there just wasn’t anything sad happening, but I think it’s just me getting old. *smile* Maybe [...]

Announcing “Sad Saturday” and Video

We’ve got a new monthly linky party we thought would be fun that we’re calling Sad Saturday. Huh? You know that recipe that didn’t turn out? The craft that was kaput? The DIY project you had to have someone come fix? How about the duct-taped chair leg? Take a picture, write a quick post explaining [...]
