The light bulb finally went off this week….but not what you think For many weeks now this project has been on my ‘To Do’ List. I wanted to construct a lamp out of a construction cone for my son’s “Transportation Theme” bedroom but was quite frankly…. unsure how to do it. Making a lamp sounded a tad bit…
Hey April….. Where in the world did you go? It seems like only yesterday someone was playing an April fools joke on me and now 30 days later, you are gone! You buzzed right by, leaving your 5 inches of yellow pollen behind as I shared some of these projects. My Office Evolution Shared…
