Hi Carolyn,
We’ve been listening to, reading, and saving your pinterest articles for a couple years now, as we’ve got our own boat waiting for us back on the east coast. Just wanted to say thank you for all the helpful advice you’re putting out (DIY is practically our life mantra), its definitely being listened to and utilized! Have a great one.
