Rustic Country Style Western Themed Wedding Cake Topper In our home, we still have mementos of our wedding day that carries happy memories of our special day. Me being from Wyoming and my husband from South Dakota, a western themed wedding was a given. Even today, that cake topper is a symbol to my husband and…
Best usb re-chargeable pocket hand warmer makes the perfect gift! Years ago at the first trade show I had ever attended, I was fascinated by the pocket warmers they had for sale back then. They had a small metal disc in the center that heated the interior and when placing the entire pack in hot water, it reheated…
