Hey everybody,
This small business in New Mexico is struggling. They are offering 30% off orders of $100. 😢

Before and after time!! A local lady brought in this old framed family tree, faded, brittle and torn, and asked me if I could fix it up it somewhat. I’d never done anything like this before, but she said there was no pressure and to just see what I could do. First photo is the before, 2nd photo is after.
She was happy! 😊

Take a step back to yesterday recalling fond memories of calmer days sitting in the rocking chair reading a book or waving to neighbors as they strolled on by.
