Ugly be GONE!!!!

Ya’all remember my crap CRAFT room drama…. well, I’m finally able to MOVE around in here! When the room belonged to my son we let him paint it any color he wanted. It would NOT have been my 18,765,289 choice but… it was his. (and in it’s time 17 years aog? WAIT… what? can that be right?

He’s now 30… ohhh MYGOD I’m depressed again) ANYWAY, I don’t have the time, energy or strength to paint this room (remember it’s 60% storage and 40% craft room; painting would mean moving tons of boxes out… ya… NOT gonna happen!!)

Soooo in front of my sewing machine I did the next best thing!! I tacked up some of my favorite family pictures in a collage.. a wall to wall collage!! Look out boxes and other wall… Mama’s got tape and a stapler!! It makes me smile looking at these faces. (to quote my Granddaughter “I LOVE these people!!)

I almost don’t mind that I can sew, use my desk, and my cutting board all from a swivel chair that could be anchored to the floor! (ALMOST!!)

I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Exorcising Some Digital Ghosts)

Updating old blog content is like digital archaeology—except I’ve unearthed a full-on resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine.

This digital poltergeist has been causing absolute chaos behind the scenes. If things look a little haunted around here, here is the proof:

• The Vanishing Act: The ghost keeps deleting my best images and video tutorials, leaving behind sad, empty boxes.
• The Link Graveyard: It’s been sneakily stripping away my trusted brand partners and replacing them with sketchy “AI Crypto” links.
• Font Sabotage: Apparently trapped in 2001, it keeps reverting my clean layout back to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.

My 2026 Blog Refresh Plan

To banish these spirits and keep my traffic climbing, I’m launching a step-by-step exorcism plan:

1. Exorcise the 404s: Running a broken link checker to track down every dead end and missing image.
2. Modernize Recommendations: Swapping out outdated products for my absolute 2026 essentials.
3. SEO Deep Clean: Refreshing metadata and strategically placing focus keywords.

Stick Around Please!

Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house and banishing spirits, check out these (very much alive) links:

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Check out the sidebar for my current giveaway. I promise this one is fully alive, kicking, and ghost-free!

Earn Cash: Some things never go out of style. Rakuten still pays you to shop, and in this economy, who is turning down free money?

Hey, while you are here you could shop through my link on Amazon, or Walmart.
