Am I the only one wondering what the heck happened to November? I haven’t even posted a picture of my Halloween costume yet. Of course, I was only home for about a week out of the past six, so that could be why I feel like I’ve missed so much. We started in South Dakota, on the tail end of …

A couple months ago, we got a new product at Memories Live On called Mica Color. It’s an iridescent watercolor paint that comes in pallets of 10 colors.
