Those Unfinished Projects
A few months ago I had 11 unfinished projects on my list and weighing on my creative mind. (This doesn't include projects from years ago like Gibson's pop warner football season/an album about my jobs/Gibson's school years mini album that I resigned as unfinished long ago). Today I have 2 and we're gonna talk about how I got there and how you can get there too!MORE ABOUT ANDREA:START here for all the things: https://retrohip.co/CONNECT on Instagram @retrohipmamaJOIN the crafty crew: https://retrohip.co/membershipGET your hands on Crafty Babe MagazineCHECK OUT all my faves: https://retrohip.co/favesSupport the show

How I've Decluttered My Home So Far
Minimalism is something I've been working through for about a year now. Don't expect me to have a house with 2 pieces of furniture and no color.
