Crafts were a part of my daily life growing up. From making our own Barbie clothes to sewing Halloween costumes, beading to scrapbooking… DIY really is a family motto! My mother, aunts, and grandmother are all multi-talented (quilting, sewing, mixed media art, beading, embroidery, and much more), and today I consider myself very blessed to […]

~ Friends ~

This is my daughter and a couple of her friends during recent Open House.  I love this shot.  Difference makes the world go round. 

Friends are such a blessing.  I’m thankful for the new friends I’ve made through this Fiskars endeavor.  “We shape our lives with a circle of friends.” ~ Unknown

Big Day

So today was a big day.  We celebrated Jacob’s baptism and then had a party combined with Owen to celebrate his 2nd birthday.  This meant two cakes, two sets of decorations, and two rounds of opening gifts.  I guess that I just didn’t want them to feel slighted.  However, the rational part of me knew […]
