You know how some people have trouble wearing/styling yellow? (I’m raising my hand) Well, orange can be tricky too, and although a couple years ago I stocked my closet full of the GOURDgeous color, I ended up getting rid of a lot of it because it just wasn’t me.

As I am writing this post, I am sipping on a warm pumpkin spice latte, the air outside is crisp and cool, there are hints of yellow, orange, and red colors peeking through the green trees lining our neighborhood and it is finally starting to look like Fall in Ohio.

I only spent about 20 minutes there, but I came out with a nice …
Hello everyone – Happy Back to School Season! Abby here with another upcycle project for you all! This month’s post is brought to you by: GARBAGE! Or garbage that won’t be garbage when we’re done with it! If you live in Akron, you know that we can’t recycle #6 plastics anymore (and haven’t been able to for a while, sad …
Hi everybody! Clayborne here, with a new mixed-media collage titled, His Orchestra. I created this body of work at home using a number of materials sourced from the Cuyahoga Falls Goodwill and the Goodwill Outlet.

It is August, and it is hard to believe it, but it is back-to-school time already. The summer flew by for me and my two children and they are starting school in two weeks. While we have made memories and enjoyed the summer together, I think we are all ready for the Fall and having a schedule again. I love …
