So anybody who knows me is well aware of my serious addiction…CRAFTING!  Drop me off at Michael’s with some coupons and a credit card and you don’t need to worry about picking me up until closing time!  So when I see my customers setting up their beautiful decorations for their showers and parties, I have […]

Anybody who has had children will at some point find themselves saying “I can’t believe how fast they’ve grown up!”  Well, that is exactly how I am feeling right now about MY “baby.”  I can’t believe that The Girl Cave just turned 4 this month!  It feels like just yesterday that I opened the doors for the first […]
