Because, seriously? That hurts my heart. On the much happier side, I saw my girls. My SC girls. In real life, not the gmail train. So fantastic to start up right where we left off, laugh at everything and nothing & knock back Jack and diets. Yes, yes. This is how I know they are…

In Minnesota, when I was around six, I had a lemonade stand that was on the corner near a house that was getting remodeled. I remember the construction guys coming over with sheets of wood for carrying away the tiny dixie cups. I made $30 and felt rich. When I was 9, I created the…

I read this book, The Art of Possibility, in 2006. It was fantastic. Right after I finished it, I decided to make a mini album based on its 12 chapters. The other night, I got committed to getting it done: …click to enlarge

We now have 6 little guys hanging in our bathroom. The top left is a letterpressed fish card from Paper Source. The bottom left I made by stapling Amy Butler fabric around a thin canvas. I glued a deer from the Jennifer Pebbles Fresh Forest digi kit to it. They seem to be settling in…

I finally got something up on the intimidating white wall in our living room/tv area. Finally. And for a deal too. Four canvases = $3.99 each at Michaels. Two sheets of the most beautiful flocked paper (Paper Source SKU number 14819950) = $3.75 each. Brown paint = $.50. Sheet of Hambly Dandelion rub ons =…

New kit at Cupcake Scrapshop. Such cool stuff in this one. Like an acrylic album. I am filling mine with cool  patterns and colors. That little 8×8 is my newest project. Grandpa turns 80 this October, and as the family scrapbooker, I get the honor of making the commemorative book. Aunts and Uncles are sending…

This is where I wait for the bus everyday. Last night, as I was standing here, I saw the most beautiful full orange moon. And I thought to myself, "wow." This morning I woke up to an email from Mom that read: Just finished a walk around the block … I noticed the moon was…

Binth. The cards, the clean-ness. The cool. Plantable Calendar. This is going on my list of calendars to buy. Because there are about 6 I have seen that I want. My new year’s resolution for 2008 is to always know the date. Handmade Clutch. Gocco Machine. This is a little screen printer. I heard about…

The Dares are doing Last Scrapper Standing Vol 2. Round One = use 8 clear things. I started off with a sketch. And an idea. And then I sat down (on the floor because my desk is covered) and ended up with something completely different. There are still 8 transparencies. And there are circles. So…

So cool to get such informative (and varied!) feedback from you, Blogland. I really appreciate the honest information. Now I just need to process it a little bit. This whole time, I keep thinking about the "Would I" factor. Would I buy this? Would I pay for this? Would I want to receive this? Would…
