      Hi all! I spent this past weekend in Chester,  NJ at the Fall Craft Show.   This was kind of a big deal for me …  as a crafter and as person. I grew up in a household that was decorated in a “country cozy”  style for each season.   My mom LOVES to…

    Happy summertime everyone! Is it brutally hot and humid where you are? Because it sure is here! We venture outside to water the garden and the flowers and then hightail it back into our air conditioned home. It’s unfortunate … we have a great yard and live in a nice wooded country area … but…

    So sometimes I think to myself, “you should blog more.” Especially on days off like yesterday.

    Why do I struggle so much with blogging? I’ve always kept a journal … but it seems that I have a mental block when it comes to electronically chronicling life. Things are busy and bustling in the Spellman household. In addition to daily life (that I never seem to catch up with! Laundry! Cleaning! Everything…
