When Someone Is Out And About And They Think Of You When They See THAT Something

This blog column is going to be short, but hopefully meaningful. Because, when Lisa returned home from work today, I received a gift. Much needed. A reminder. To back up a bit, the past couple of weeks have been a little difficult. It's not the workload. It's people.

Our Bodacious Slat Style Chubby Snowmen Were A Hit

This was the photo I posted yesterday on my personal Facebook wall. I announced that our slat style chubby snowmen were done and I would be posting them tomorrow (today). Yes, they were purposely turned around for the photo so people couldn't see the finished product just yet. People responded.

Why Would I Take On Several More Projects This Time Of Year?

Our Bodacious Dog Mom life is crazy busy. Every single day. For the next month, it's going to be super crazy busy. For example, take today.

I Am Running Out Of Space In The Bodacious DIY Dog Mom Project Workshop

I have spent the past few days painting dozens of DIY Dog Mom Projects. This year for our 2019 Bodacious Holiday pieces, we're doing a lot of snowmen. In addition to painting and detailing pieces, I'm crocheting hats and scarves for a lot of them. So. Much. Work.
