Antique Dresser Entertainment Center
September 7, 2014 by 13 Comments
Today’s post is a story of redemption…at least, I hope you’ll think so.

I’m on a bit of a family photos binge, ever since I took ours a few weeks ago. I always put them on our Christmas cards each year, but I rarely do anything else with them – not even print and frame them.
