~ Another Father’s Day Idea ~

This is a little book I did a couple of days ago.  I made this little book using the Cloud Nine Meadow collection.  Doesn’t have photos yet but Grandpa in Minnesota is the outdoorsy type.  I used the drill to make the accordion a book and added binder rings.  Paper and twill create pockets for […]

~ What a Sister ~

My Fiskars Sister that is.  I just thought I’d share something with you.  I had surgery a little less than two weeks ago and it wasn’t an easy surgery, emotionally or physically.  Anyhow, right before my surgery one of my favorite cd’s broke “Lifesong” by Casting Crowns.  My husband has been so good to me.  […]

~ Inspiration ~

I pulled some things together to work on a little project.  I just love looking at the ‘raw material’.  I also love finding inspiration on billboards, magazine ads, clothing, books, children’s books, art, home decor items.  What inspires you?

Ok, I admit it, I am a music snob.  Not in the, I only listen to classical music way, but in the I have my favorite bands kind of way.  It takes a lot for a new artist to catch my attention enough to buy their cd or download a song from iTunes (an amazing […]

What a great weekend!

Remember how I mentioned that last weekend my car was broken into and my camera was stolen? It happened in Charlotte, NC while I was visiting my boyfriend, Adam. As far as break-ins are concerned it was pretty tame, very little damage, and they only took my camera and a tee shirt […]

This is a phrase that my two year old uses a lot.  When I leave to go to my regular job, he says, “Good day, mama!”  And yesterday was a good day. 
Can I just say, first of all, that my husband makes the best waffles!  Growing up, Matt’s mom taught him and his brother to […]

Ultra ShapeXpress

I was intrigued by several of the shape cutting templates Fiskars makes, and so I decided to try the Ultra ShapeXpress and see how it works. It sounded to easy- just put the tool in the template, cut along edges and you’ll have a cut shape. Well once I figured out I had the template […]

Last night I went to a crop, not to be out there promoting anything, but just to create.  I often get so engrossed in what I am doing that I don’t pay attention to what others are doing and how they are “scrapping the love.”  Last night, however, I took the time to walk around […]

You ladies have inspired me to share a favorite photo of my little one growing up while we lived in Madagascar.  She’s two here.  She’s my little honey.
