It means it’s time to get craftin’! I see so many things that I want to make RIGHT NOW!!!!! I really love designing tumblers so I decided this would be my first project from The Mega Craft Bundle. First, I can’t say enough good things about these particular tumblers. I just keep coming back to this particular brand because they have a slide over the opening which I like a lot! Especially during bug season! UGH! Bugs in my coffee? No thank you. I snagged the blue 12-ounce tumblers this time. I’m thoroughly impressed at how long cold drinks stay cold. Hot drinks stay hot. With Schiipper tumblers my ice cubes melt so slowly. I love having a cup full of ice at the end of my…

  • And Down Goes The Trees!

    We had several trees that worried us each time we had high winds up here on our little mountain. Trees that were way too close to the house and leaning toward the house. In my mind I could see the house completed, new roof, new deck and a downed 80 tree right down the center! So, we hired a professional to come give us an opinion. He agreed with out observation and down came 3 trees. With each one Chris stated with authority the tree will lay down right HERE. No muss. No fuss. EXACTLY where he pointed. He climbed up the trees, he wheeled that chainsaw with precision and ease. Did the music scare you? It did me when I was editing! So dramatic! Sorry about the glare. I did NOT want to be outside for that so the video was through the screen.
