I am in the process of creating a gallery wall that will brighten up my very dark hallway. My budget for Creating 3 D Seashell Art is around $10.

Top O’ The Mornin’ To Ya Tablescape Over the weekend I created a tablescape inspired by the holiday but didn’t feature a single leprechaun or four-leaf clover.
