Read MoreLast week at the end of the post my wish for you was to create a project you’ve been wanting to do for a long time, or to finish one you have started but then set aside. I’m so proud of myself because I took my own advice! Last summer I went to a new store in Bountiful, “Real Deals”. They are located at…
