Well, the wedding that you’ve all been hearing about for the past few weeks is over. My BFF Amy now officially has a new last name. I’ve done a number of projects related to her wedding over the weeks and I’ve still got a couple I haven’t posted yet. Check them out at Spray ColoredRead more
Remember that conference I went to a while back? Well, one of the coolest things about it was that at breakfast we were served toast with mini jams. Oh no, not those plastic squares of jam you get in a diner. These were in teeny tiny glass jars! Needless to say I stuffed aRead more
Before we get into my DIY stamps, let me say I can’t really convey exactly how much I love the dollar store. Nor can I accurately express how much my hubby hates it. Why? Because every time I go in there I end up taking forever and spending WAY more than a person should spend at theRead more
Its no secret that my best friend is getting married. I’ve posted a couple of crafts to that effect, and gossiped about her bridal shower. Well here’s another! You see, our workplace decided to throw Amy a shower (in addition to the 2 she had for her family) and I was brough on to leadRead more
Father’s day tends to be anticlimactic for me, since my father passed away in 2008. Usually my mother, brother, sister and I get together and do something fun (since it’s usually my brother’s birthday as well.) But, its impossible not to miss my dad any time of the year, especially during holidays like Father’s Day.Read more
About 2 years ago I fell in love with Peace Tea. Actually, it was the cans that I liked. In fact, I didn’t even try the tea until some time later. These are some of the most beautiful, and well thought out packaging designs I’ve seen in some time. The drawings are created by JohnRead more
My father left me a legacy. When I was a teenager he built me a dunebuggy. For those of you unfamiliar with this term, the traditional dunebuggy, or sandrail, is a sparse, frame only vehicle built mostly of Volkswagen Beetle parts, engine included. Mine happens to be street legal as well- which is rather rare.Read more
I rarely give store-bought gifts. Its just my nature to make something -hopefully cute- to give a friend or relative. Every now and then I want to give something *extra* special. For example, this weekend was my best friend Amy’s bridal shower. It was my first time really meeting her family, and while I’m notRead more
Well, since the sweetest day card I have been on a roll! I’ve made several new card sets, and this is my new favorite! I originally designed it to use as a thank-you card to a co-worker, but it has such an understated charm that I had to add a few more phrases and putRead more
Mother’s Day is next week! And, since I discussed all my mushy gushy feelings for mom in the Mother’s Day Printable Coupons post, I’ll cut to the chase on this one. I wanted to do something a little more sophisticated for my mom and for my grandma. Thinking of Mother’s Day and all the myRead more
Just yesterday I had the distinct pleasure of joining the ladies of my family at a Baby shower for my cousin Dan and his wife Becky. They are having a little girl whom they plan to name Natalie Marie. I was SO EXCITED to go shopping for girl baby shower gifts! There have been aRead more
The summer season means a lot of pot lucks for me. Family gatherings, graduation parties, work outings and miscellaneous other picnics. And I’m not ashamed to say that sometimes, I get rather behind. That means that the night before I have to present some amazing treat to wow the masses – I’m panicked, rushing, and usually pretty grouchy.Read more
