I know, I know. Christmas? Really? In July? It’s warm and balmy and sunny out there—why on Earth would we want to be thinking about Christmas? And crochet afghan patterns? Have you looked at a thermometer lately? Well, the truth is, this year is already more than halfway over, and Christmas is only 158 days […]
When I was little, I loved looking at the birthstone displays at stores. I remember each month’s stone glittering fabulously out of necklaces or rings or earrings, and I was dazzled.
