Updated Review – Tooli-Art Acrylic Paint Pens
It’s been a year and a half since I published my first impressions on my brand-new Tooli-Art paint pens.

Let’s Make – Resin Leaf Charms
My husband is an avid woodworker. He’s always either working on a project or watching woodworking videos on YouTube. This, of course, means I’m also watching, if only from the corner of my eye.
