If you’ve been reading my blog long, you know that I thrive on free printables. Or rather, my wall art thrives on free printables. They’re one of my favorite ways to decorate my home in a thrifty way. So I thought I would try something different this year. Each month, I’m going to give you a free printable for your …

Decorating is so much fun! Ever since I’ve had my own home, it’s been such a learning process for me… and Dearest Carl.
