Friends I promised you a couple of projects from my friends Jim and Jen... but you're actually going to get THREE! You are SO LUCKY! There is one that I actually need to finish but due to illness, due to lack of umph, I've been busy so I haven't gotten to it yet.
This one Jen laid out the directions for me so nicely so it is easy for me to get it to you! BONUS!
