Tin foil dinners!
Yes, upholstery projects abound, for tutorials that is. Since I'm posting on Uncooped, I should talk outdoors. We went camping in the Fall and it was sooo much work, I don't know if we'll do it again this year. It was fun, though. What's the key to not spending so much time with food prep and clean up?
Shelly as in my favorite upholsterer?? Yeah, the snow's pretty much gone...after ONLY 6 1/2 months!
Hi Campergirl,
I thought I should see what you and the troops are doing over here at Uncooped. My sis just left and went back to St. Paul, her home. Said the last of the dirty snow will soon be gone.
