When I held my Freschetta Simply Inspired Giveaway, I told ya’ll that I’d make a little something extra for the winner. Cassie was the winner and after some debating and procrastination on my part, I came up with a fitting project for her. I asked

Several months back I found these “decorative spheres” at Pier 1. (Pier 1 likes to call them “spheres,” I just call them balls). I immediately liked them, but seeing as I don’t have any J’s, Q’s or X’s in any of my names, I was
