So, this was a lot of fun. Remember how I was going to work on it while on vacation? That didn't happen. Not even a little bit. But over the past week, I pieced it all together and am very happy with the result. My goal was to add something interesting to every page and…

I have to say, these monthly updates are fun, mostly because I can clearly see how much things have changed. Here's the garden in the very beginning. And then here it is at the end of April. Crazy, crazy. Last time I shared photos, I got lots of suggestions get the tomato plants in cages.…

Summer books launch tomorrow and I am so excited about them. I originally planned on NOT making my own this year because of Project Life and all the other stuff I have going on. But then the papers I ordered arrived. And they looked so much radder together in person than they had on my…

I tend to take way more photos around my house than when I am out and about. I think it's because at my place, I'm in control of the situation and don't feel silly shooting the same thing multiple times. At home, no one (except Paul) stares at me like I'm a crazy person. I…

I have had this project in my head for months and I am glad I finally decided to just execute. These plants are now hanging in the corner of our loft space which also now has a curtain rod and curtains. (No small victory, I promise.) It's strange to just focus on this corner when…

Week 13 and this spread might be my favorite so far. (click to enlarge & the images above will be [somewhat] clearer) Main thing this week is that I realized I do not spend a lot of time on this project. In fact, I thought about it and realized that prepping these posts about the…

Sometimes I think about my blog (or my Instagram feed) and how much I bounce around from project to project and I have to laugh. It's a giant ping-pong table of crafts. I am a baker. I am a knitter. I am a quilter. I am designer. But I am never going to be an…

Yada, yada, yada, week 10 and I still love this project. (click to enlarge & the images above will be [somewhat] clearer) It was a big week because we were vacationing which meant my camera was burning a hole in my pocket at all times. I took probably 600-700 photos between my iPhone and my…

Happy Tuesday. After posting my business cards yesterday I got a question about how I made the text look like the photo was visible underneath it. I filmed a quick (less than 5 1/2 minute) video to show how PSE can be used to get the look. As mentioned in the video, I have no…
