I’m pretty candid here on the blog talking about my father’s death. I’ve written about the things I’ve learned, and wish I’d told him. I’ve talked about celebrating my Father in Law instead of my dad on Father’s Day. However, now that my husband and I have a child, Father’s Day has a renewed spiritRead more
Today I’ve got an extra special treat to share! Well, it might be just ordinary special to most, but it is extra special to me. This Mother’s Day will be my first as a mom and not just a daughter. The prospect is both terrifying and so exciting! But I wanted to make sure thatIRead more
Mother’s and Father’s Day are on the horizon, but did you know there is such a thing as Sibling’s Day? It’s April 10th.

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

To commemorate this (albeit dubiously commercial) holiday- I’ve made a card. Not just any card- mind you. A card, and an envelope with embellishments.
