Inner Roadblocks to Financial Wellbeing

By Jean Genie

The mountain town of Hot Springs, NCI am not a fan of money in any shape or form. I pretty much have come to hate everything about it. Especially the way it interferes with what I'd rather do in life which means basically not having to care about who has it or who doesn't or how to get it or how not to - in other words, the way the cancer of money destroys everything in its wake.

Donut Coasters

By attosa

Donut Coasters - two donut shaped coastersI made these for a friend who loves donuts so much, she collects donut shaped items. They're very easy to make, using just cork board, felt, and embroidery string. They look cute on the table, but do cause a donut craving. Be careful!
