  I’ve been seeing these “3 Things” posts all over the net the last week or so, so I thought I would chime in and share some things I’m loving this week!  I didn’t want to JUST do “craft” supplies though, because that’s not all I am about!  So for my 3 Things, I’m sharing 3 that genuinely are making my life better.  =D 1. My Dad OMGosh, mooshfest – right?   LOL.  Sorry, but it’s true.  My Dad is much on my mind this week since I’ll be driving up…
