Beth Ann Chiles/ Crafting/ 12 Comments/ 663

I was finally working on cleaning up my office/craft room the other day and ran across a bag of yo-yos. Not the toy kind of yo-yos but the fabric kind. I somehow ended up with a package that my mom was working on and boy Continue reading →

I have been working on a few things this month and am trying to get some things organized and cleaned up. It seems to be a constant thing with me. Sometimes I feel like all I am doing is moving piles of stuff around and Continue reading →

Christmas Cards from the Heart

Beth Ann Chiles/ Crafting, Family, Writing/ 14 Comments/ 532

I inherited my love of making greeting cards from my mom. From 1951 when my parents got married until 2015 she kept the tradition of making handmade Christmas cards to send to friends and loved ones alive. At times their mailing list exceeded 200 people Continue reading →
