It can be said I stayed true to my challenge and I only bought some Crayola brand markers, construction paper and craft paint. But I have not made anything other than my quick doodle book, entitled, I *poorly drawn wagon in place of a heart* Fire Island. (The photo is backwards because [...]
We are packed and ready for our first weekend at the beach house this summer. The first-weekend-schlep to Fire Island is always a total drag because we bring all of our supplies for the summer and there are no cars on the island. This means hauling your stuff onto a ferry and using [...]
