• Creating Elegance Through Upcycling

  
  Heart Handmade - Crafts, craft ideas and arts and crafts blog — Authority: 458
  I’ve always thought about life not as odds ‘n’ ends, but as odds and evens. There are those in life that are paired with another and those left standing alone. That is the yin and yang of life. And then there are the evens that flank the odds. So when you have 2 and add 1, you have an odd and an even. Two can ...
