Little Girl Thanksgiving Outfit (Silhouette Promo)
I try very hard each year to ensure Thanksgiving doesn’t become somewhat of a speed bump between Halloween and Christmas.

This week has been teacher appreciation week at my oldest son’s school, and I wanted to make a little something to give to his teacher to let her know how much we truly value all she does for her students. As I was considering what type of project to put together, I immediately thought of…
