So it’s a recycled craft, which means it’s budget-friendly and it’s super cute and creative. This fellow crafty blogger had applied these dryer sheet flowers to greeting cards [...]

As the old saying goes, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure, and that cliche saying turned out true for me. Last weekend, my friend and I were walking along on our way to get something to eat when all of a sudden he darted into an alleyway. I followed him, until we were standing [...]
