I am honored and thrilled to share with you today that I designed the 2013 Seafoam kit for Project Life! This is my big secret project that I have been keeping since early February. I have so much to say about this kit, including how we got from step #1: a phone call from Becky…

Sometimes, I take photos throughout the week and then have a healthy assortment to share here on Fridays. Other times, I take all my photos around the house on Thursday afternoon in a few minutes. This week, I took them over a few hours in my office on Wednesday. They absolutely were not supposed to…

(This post will make much more sense if you read this one from summer 2007.) Once upon a time, the shoe on the left looked like the shoe on the right. It was a replacement shoe, for the first pair had been worn mighty thin after a few years in college. The shoe was honored…

The big one for me this month is the email one. No email checking after 6pm. It's a hard and fast rule I am committing to in June. Hopefully for the rest of time, forever and ever, Amen. It's interesting, this job of mine. My work and my life are so connected. I blog about…

I got a question yesterday about whether or not Paul and I have made friends in this new town and then that reminded me of another question from awhile back about how I keep up long-distance friendships. I thought I'd use today's post to address both. The answer to the first question is yes, we…

Thank you so much for the stamp shop reception today. Planning those stamps and getting creative with photos and playing with "marketing" ideas has been so fun. It's something I didn't realize I missed and I've really enjoyed the process. It has been at least a year since I've launched an entirely new product. I…

Almost three months of 2012 are in the books (literally). I have not been very deliberate with how I have used my one little word so far. Though I can think of a few instances where I was grumpy about something and said to Paul, "I know I am supposed to be choosing not to…
