    Fancying Up Your Bulletin Board Letters

    August 3, 2018 /

    I know you’ve seen them on your social media feeds.  And I know you are thinking, these are adorable but I don’t have a cricut® and I am not going to buy a cricut® and so I will never be able to make these beautiful bulletin board letters.  And then you hang your head and think about all the other things that you don’t have in your life, like a Ford Mustang convertible, an Instapot, a private jet and Tieks.  (I really want a pair of Tieks).

You can learn more in this post.

    Sarah Breedlove, better known as Madam CJ Walker, is America's first female self-made millionaire. She grew up in poverty and by the age of 20 was a widowed woman bringing up a two year old daughter alone. To try to make money she took in laundry. Due to a scalp condition, Sarah began to lose her hair so she started experimenting with some of the laundry chemicals she has used, hoping to find a cure.
