Bloomin’ Marvelous Embossed Treat Box
When I accidentally ordered 3 packs of the Kraft Treat Boxes because I thought you were getting one for the $2.95 not 4 boxes for the $2.95, I was initially bummed to have so many boxes; but now I’m almost out and have been loving experimenting with them! This was my first time trying out…

Snowman Snowglobe Holiday Card
My son keeps telling me that it isn’t wintertime because there is no snow. Apparently to his 2 – going on 3- year old view of the world: fall = leaves fall off the trees and winter = snow. That a pretty close approximation! Unfortunately we don’t get too much snow up here in Seattle. …

This weekend my family and I headed out of town to Spokane, WA for my grandparent’s 65th anniversary. I think it is so awesome to see two people who have shared a life for 65 years and have so many interesting stories from their adventures along the way! So, this when I found this sentiment…
