Dunn Inspired Ornaments

Dunn got inspired for some cute ornaments (see how I did that there).  Rae Dunn, that is.  While Rae Dunn is really cute, it can get costly when you get the fever.  Instead of spending $12.99 for 4 ornaments, how about making 16 for just $14? Purchase white ornaments from Michael’s.  Be sure to snag …

Loofahs are Grown from Dirt

Loofahs are grown from dirt.  Surprised?  Don’t feel bad.  Many people think that loofah sponges are recovered from the ocean.  Those would be sea sponges and are different.
