Annnnnd, we're through the week. Pretty quiet around here work-wise and that has been really nice. I'm spending a lot of time dreaming up holiday projects, our 2012 holiday cards and blog posts. Trader Joe's had tiny Christmas trees and I almost bought six to create a forest on my mantle before I realized I…

This November, I am playing along with the hastag #thirtydaysofthanksgiving on Instagram. It's super easy: every day for 30 days you post a photo of something you're thankful for. My Instagram stream is more or less a gratitude list anyway, but it's been fun so far to make a conscious effort to take a picture…

Super random work slash lay on the couch week. I caught a bug and have felt less like a human and more like a garbage can these past few days. But – good news – I think I saw a light at the end of the tunnel and I predict a better weekend and even…

Happy end of October. Happy beginning of November! Happy almost Thanksgiving. Happy feels like fall! This is our first year in a house instead of an apartment so there is a chance we'll get trick-or-treaters tonight! I am hopeful because someone needs to eat all the candy we bought and it is not going to…

This week was a bit of blur. I worked on the holiday minibooks (that should launch at the beginning of November) and I have started thinking about holiday crafts. (Other than the quilts, that is.) I want to bring back a little bit of "handmade holiday" to the blog this season and will be making…

I was all over the place this week. I am currently playing, "hurry up and get ahead!" so that I have enough time later this month to dedicate to a big project. This means I need everything craft fair related ready to go (thankfully, it is!), holiday book papers prepped (almost there!) projects planned &…

It was a pretty good week around here. The backordered stamps arrived and got out the door in a flurry of packing tape and business cards. That is always a huge relief and if you've been waiting, I hope they arrive soon! This also means that all stamps are back in stock and ready to…

Paul has been out of town this week for training. Six days is nothing compared to a seven month deployment, but it's been interesting having the house to myself again and crazy how all my old routines have returned. I am counting my blessings that I am comfortable and enjoy being alone. If I didn't,…
