Customer picked up her snowman board order! I think these are the cutest boards! I didn't have a whole lot of extra time thos years for orders but I'm so happy I did these!
Please plan for next year! If you put your orders in early, like the summer ☀️ I can do a few! End of August I am already busy with fall!
They make great gifts!

River Ridge Brewery Sunday afternoon paint party was a blast! These ladies are so fun! If you haven't driven down to Bellevue in awhile it's a beautiful winter drive and if you happen to stay past dark the river walk if full of lights! Rge Brewery has amazing special brewed beer! Every single one I tasted was delicious!
