buttons
yarn
small rocks, seeds, stones, pine cones

empty spools

Today, I had an afternoon of pampering. I had my first ever facial. Wow! If you have the opportunity to have one, don't miss it! I told the boys that I was going to have a facial, and Henry asked me if they were going to put pickles on my eyes.
