I'm feeling good about the status of my card stash. Recently, it has gotten a little slim so I've been actively working on building it back up. These cards are made with Graphic 45 patterned papers, Tim Holtz paper dolls, and rubber stamps by Stampin' Up, Dyan Reavley, Dina Wakely, Tim Holtz, and who knows …
The mudding of the sheet rock is looking great! I can now see how I can use this space. It's getting me all motivated and stuff. Things I'm thinking about: Moving all my supplies upstairs. Getting a DJ set up and playing around. I may have watched a lot of Hip Hop Evolution on Netflix …
It's cold, you're stuck inside, you just can't scroll through Pinterest anymore. Let's embrace a long-loved pastime, letter writing! I try and send birthday cards to my friends and family (mostly on time) and I enjoy the thought of them getting a little love in the mail box close to their special day. But, what …
This year, we are exploring what Christmas in a renovation zone is like. What have we found? It can still be as magical and as full of friends and family as it usually is -- it's just a little more dusty than usual. Stamps by Tim Holtz and Stampin' Up. Well, it's a lot more …
I've started my Christmas crafting. I am slowly working my way up to the really fun stuff like making Christmas cards to spread cheer to all my family and friends and building garlands to use in our home. But I thought gift tags could be the gateway into all that festivity. Nice quality tags like …
I'm getting a studio!!!! Have I shared that our house is under renovation? Like, tear a third of the house down, renovation? Well, it has made creating a bit of a challenge. Lots of stuff is packed away, and my regular creating space no longer exists. All this is to move into bigger, brighter, and …
This has been the question behind yoga practice for the last couple of weeks. An almost impossible question to answer. I am all sorts of things, a librarian, an artist, a cook, a dishwasher. But I am also a procrastinator, a selfish person, a professional time waster. Or am I a music lover, a friend, …
The renovation of our kitchen begins tomorrow! I am excited, terrified, stressed out, and grateful. We've waited a long time to start (maybe too long) this project. A few things left to move. Renovation may be an understatement. We are demolishing an addition from the 1920s, putting in a foundation -- it was all the …
Over here in New Hampshire we are checking things off our summer bucket list. We've taken a lovely trip to Bar Harbor. We've played mini golf. We've gone to a few baseball games. I've even scheduled a paddle boarding lesson. As we try to consciously enjoy the great summer weather, it becomes difficult to spend …
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 …
