  • It felt like a quiet week around here. We're in that "prepping for Paul to leave stage" which is hard. All of our routines are about to come to a screeching halt and I'll be figuring out what the new normal looks like around here. I am working on staying in the present and thinking…

  • photo details : do your best pennant from three potato four, letter stamps are super old from Michael's, brave cards are for my one little word album and are part of a lesson from Ali's one little word class. First, I cannot thank you enough for sharing in my joy and excitement about the launch…

  • Happy Christmas Eve! This is my favorite day of the Christmas season. The anticipation and excitement of today cannot be beat. Getting dressed up, having a fancy meal, going to church, listening to Christmas music, lighting dozens of candles…this is where, for me and my family, the magic has always happened. To celebrate, I am…

  • fun facts about the photos : that love wood chip embellishment is by Freckled Fawn. I get my flair badges from Evalicous, Hello Forever & Ormolu. We are so excited to start Homeland. Annnnd, we made it to Friday. Busy week, getting things wrapped up around here (in some cases literally). The blog is always…

  • I spent much of this fall (and almost every minute of last few weeks!) collaborating on an e-course with Elsie Larson of A Beautiful Mess. I have been a fan of Elsie's for years. She inspires me as a blogger, crafter and small business owner. I was honored & excited when she asked me to…

  • 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…

  • I've got a booth at the Queen Bee Market at the Aliso Viejo Conference Center (31 Santa Barbara Dr) today from 9-3. Stop by, say hi and shop handmade!

  • Insanely busy week around here. I am collaborating on an e-course and doing lots of lesson writing. In fact "lots" doesn't cut it. It's a crazy amount of lesson writing. But I am much closer to the end than the beginning and that is a really great feeling. I'll be able to share more information…

  • It has been just great to have a week at home. I was running (actually typing) like a crazy person, wrapping up projects, getting stamps out the door and trying my best to stay organized. Thank you again for all your orders and thank you double for your patience as we wait for backordered stamps…
