Wow time has flown and its already April! But that means it’s time for the new Occasions mini catalog to come out – and boy is this a good one. There are lots of cool new items in this mini. There are tons of new stamps, a new awesome scallop oval punch, a new matchbox…
As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been slowly trying to get my crafting supplies, partial projects, and completed projects organized so I can actually find what I’m looking for in less than 20 minutes. 🙂 Well, when my mom was visiting last month, she brought with her the instructions for a great project. Using the Forget-me-not…
So, I’m realizing that I’m now of the age that wedding seasons are winding down and its baby time for many of my friends. Over the last month or two, I’ve learned that at least 5 friends are pregnant with most of their due dates being later this summer and fall. I’m so excited for…
What a whirlwind spring! There have been tons of family visits, stamping events, and work deadlines. That has kept me away from my computer as much as normal but also means I have a backlog of great things to show you! First up, I thought I would share some of the projects we did…
While I work on getting pictures taken and up from my most recent project, I thought I would mention here on my blog my next class which is happening this weekend in downtown Portland. I’m hosting a Mom and Me event where you and your child (or you and your mom or you and your…
Late last week, my mom came up for a visit (a week after my MIL was here for a week visiting!) She was in town to join me at the Creating Keepsakes big scrapbooking convention in Portland this last weekend. The convention was an absolute blast and we stayed up waay to late Saturday night…

Ever have one of those projects that keep you obsessed until you get it done? My craft room is one of those projects. After two weeks of being super busy (out of town on a business trip and my MIL visiting), the house is finally quiet again. While my MIL was here, she helped…
Its been a crazy week for me but I’ve finally managed to sneak away to get a quick card put together and up on the blog. This last week, I was away in Dallas on a business trip and returned home to my Mother-in-law visiting for a week. And while all of that is…
Hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day weekend! I enjoyed some time with the DH at home on Saturday and then Sunday we drove up to Seattle to meet up with some friends and participate in a puzzle event (think, Amazing Race only with puzzles to tell you where to go next instead of…
Ok, so I know this post is a little late, but better late then never, right? I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have been visiting and leaving me comments. It really perks up my day to have you all stopping by and saying hello. Especially with weeks like this…
