I pulled out some tools I haven't used in a while; my stencils and vintage alphabet stamps. Having my trusty friends around me helped spark my creativity in a way that the crummy weather has not. I dig this Scout and feel his confidence. This gang looks ready to rule the world. You are, you …
Thought I'd share a few projects I've been working on as I wait, wait, wait on Spring to arrive. It's still cold, there is still snow, blah. The sun is out and I heard that the bears are waking up. . . so not too much longer. This gem is a guest book. Any one …
Something I love? Having time to goof around in my art journal. Something else I love? Free magazines. So, fussy cutting models out of fashion magazines and gluing them in my art journal for later artsy inspiration is way high on the list of awesome. Giving myself time to play is one way I show …
This past week in yoga class we learned about the third chakra; Manipura, the lustrous gem, the solar plexus, the center of personal power.

The Great British Baking Showing is my jam (ha!). Well, day two of making Christmas cards is at least feeling a little more festive. Snow has a way of doing that. I won't bring out the balsam candles and candy canes just yet (let's get through next week, shall we? I will be setting up …
We've had a pretty sad month over here at the 43Cards house. We had to say goodbye to Miss Thora at the beginning of October. She was in a lot of pain and the medicines just weren't cutting it anymore. We loved her very much, and every day with her was just perfect. Just yesterday, …
I get it. Insurance companies are betting on a risk to reward ratio. I get it, our house currently looks a little too heavy on the risk front. But, we have a plan! Unfortunately, our timeline is not the same as our insurance company's. So, we asked friends and family to help us out with …
