Rough round the edges with a camp heart and a decent … Continue reading Handmade with (Wild) Love for DSD

No matter what shape or form the powers that be deem our Pride to be there are somethings they just can’t change. There are certain Pride traditions I’ll go with each and every year.

As I sit here I have to ask myself can I really … Continue reading Pride before a fall…Carry on regardless
