Last week the Workshop turned into a very busy North Pole…But instead of toys, we were busy little elves making a holiday tabletop for 8 out of $50 worth of dollar store finds. It was all part of Good Morning America’s Dollar Store Duel, where I went head-to-head with creative genius Jonathan Adler. The segment […]
What to cook for Christmas dinner? Every year, I go back and forth– should I do something a little more out there? Salmon instead of beef?
