After sharing my new adventure yesterday, I thought I’d share a little story about my mantel. I didn’t even realize that my JOY came from 3 generations of Mr. SCC’s family until I was talking to Cha Cha yesterday. She’s a sucker for all things sentimental, so we just started talking about the 3 letters and where they came from. Since I “discovered” the letters in reverse, I’ll share them that way :) Mr. SCC found the “Y.” We needed a ton of little sticks for a twig topiary (I’ll share ... continue reading...
