Spring always feels like a new love to me. I'm a little extra giddy, I have a little more energy, I'm more apt to say yes to an adventure. You know, I feel free! I also feel thankful. Thankful that I am lucky enough to have the time to play in this beautiful, energizing weather. …
It can be very satisfying to complete a project, especially if you think you don't have time to do it. That was today. I made time to do, not only, what I wanted to, but also (most of) what I needed to. Ahhh, the joys of adulthood. Here's to hoping you can also find the …
It snowed yesterday, a lot. And a lot of snow means a lot of shoveling. Just so you know, I love to shovel, I don't know why, I just do. Maybe it's the meditative nature of the solitude, the push and scrape of the shovel on the ground, the strength I feel with every shovel …
Last week I shared with you my amazingly involved and life changing goals for 2018. Well, they're not earth shaking, but I did end up seeing a pattern. All the goals are about exploring and learning new things. Bettering myself, if you will. Hence, my word of the year will be LEARN. That's what I …
Hey, that's me, I'm one of those small businesses! I'll be at the Mascoma High School Holiday Fair, Canaan, NH all day selling my wares. I'll have holiday things like: Christmas cards, Garlands, and Tags for all those gifts. But, I'll also have all sorts of beautifully cool notebooks and journals, and papery goodness for …
Each year, every Christmas commercial I see before Thanksgiving, I vow off that store/company for the season. No one is getting a Lexus from me this year, or anything from Target, or who ever else can't hold it together long enough to actually make it to the holiday season before bombarding us with the …
We had such a blast at the Orange Harvest Festival this year. The weather cooperated (no snow), the set up crew not only loaned us, but pre-set a table for us (so nice), and there were lots of shoppers! I am really happy with how this year's evolution of my table layout shaped up. I …
Sometimes, anyway. And by work, I mean having fun creating products for my upcoming craft fairs. Today I spent a lovely, cloudy day making dot grid paper notebooks with sewn bindings. I had great luck with a similar notebook last year, so I thought I would put a new, bullet journal style twist on it …
Who doesn't love a brand new pack of post-its? All those notes and ideas just waiting for somewhere to land? One of my bestsellers on the craft fair circuit are what I like to call, Post-It note cozies. They are a fun little cover for those super helpful, but not always nice to look at …
Do you find yourself justifying keeping those little bitty strips of paper that you trim off? No need! You can turn those scraps into something really cool. Thanks to a demo from my friend, and long ago Stampin' Up demonstrator, Judy, I have been using my scraps to transform regular pens into fabulous pens for …
