Royal Blue Shoulder-Pad Extravaganza Refashion [thank goodness]

I've started making more frequent trips to goodwill. Is it because it's a magical place filled with ideas, opportunities, and sales? Yes! How'd you know? I've been getting some fun clothes, including clothes with the potential to be refashioned. Let's have this dress share it's story... Notice the enthusiasm. "Hi, I'm a wool sweater dress from the 80's! I was all the rage in my time, but these days I'm only appreciated for my pockets.

5 Night games to play with friends

If you are caught by the ghost, you are out. There isn't much of a point to this game, it is the fright factor that makes it so fun. I play...
