Christmas at the Tuckers
I have been accused of "over sharing" on facebook. I am one of those people who LOVES social media and can't get enough updates about what all my friends are up to.

We use a concrete overlay product that can be applied to virtually any surface like laminate, tile, wood, fireplace surrounds and Formica.
