Little Lonely Closet

by Marie May 4, 2007

As it is approaching Summer, the sad winter clothes in my closet need to go. I browse through my walk-in closet, if you can call it that, and look over my clothes. What a mess! Why is it that I must keep the clothing I wore as a teenager, or the “skinny” clothes I will [...]

Get Your Hands Messy!

by Marie March 28, 2007
