Skeleton Key Stenciled Mirror with Mod Podge Rocks stencils.
Do you read Mod Podge Rocks? My friend, Amy Anderson is the brains behind that blog (and DIY Candy, and Washi Tape Crafts) and she is such a genius that she has her own line of stencils on the market. I was really excited to give the Mod Podge Rocks stencils a try and make […]

Teacher Tweets: My son’s first experience with having something go viral.
My son Conner is learning first hand what a roller coaster ride having something go viral on the internet can be.
