Rainy day greetings from Northern California. We?ve had 24 hours of rain and everyone here is breathing a sigh of relief, the moisture deters wildfires so everyone is grateful for the rain!
While it drizzles outside, I?m painting some cabinets today. I have a fun decorative DIY project to share inspired by my new passion for working with clay. Look for that this week!
