For the Love of Football

09/18/2011

Now that it's football season, we have people dropping by, often on short notice, to watch the game some weekends.  My husband (like many of yours, I'm sure) is a huge fan, and fortunately he found himself a wife who likes a few teams too. ;) We always used to go out for the game, but now that we ...

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
