I *heart* DIY

I'm very much a DIY girl and I blame my parents. My mom sewed many of our clothes (Christmas bedsheets are something I look forward to every year), she started me on making my own cards, and my dad grows a garden and raises the chickens. I have a very hard time NOT making a meal from scratch! *lol*
