I will be back on/around September 9th. I am going off-line, and will be with my sister and family. This morning our grandfather- also known as santa, and teller of many bad jokes passed away. He was probably the best grandpa a girl could wish for.

The first of the month is always BIG over at fiskars, but this month it’s extra big! I actually sneaked some peeks and blogged about it here.
See [...]

oh how my life is to be filled with my little pony layouts and projects… oh yes. I’ve got a wee girl who LOVES them, and another learning the ways. I think it’s fun because they were a favorite of mine back in the day- so cool to play with the girls with toys like [...]

I have nothing against traditional (red sauce) enchiladas. I make and eat those too. It’s just that these are sooo much yummier and it’s one of the first recipes I called my mom for when I moved out on my own. They’re a lot easier than I ever imagined!
Mix: can of cream of chicken soup, [...]

As I mentioned last week, I’m really working on my sewing skills. Not only is it helpful and productive, but it’s also fun, frustrating, and rewarding to work on a new type of crafting skill. My most recent project was this blanket. It should probably have taken 1-2hrs maximum, but it took me about 4 [...]

So trying to multi-task I did this layout that is my kraft recipe, strips of paper challenge, AND Lisa’s product playground challenge.
I’m not going to lie- about half way through this layout I was pretty sure it was going to be a “what not to do” page… but it pulled through. (phew!) Now it’s in [...]

Did our morning outing and now we’re back in for the day. The plan is to start scrapbooking as soon as lunch has been served up. Another plan? To give away a FISKARS STAMP PRESS + 3 stamp sets. Right here. Right now.
Can you say Fiskars ROCKS??? (I can!!!) I think the winner is going [...]

Here’s a layout using kraft paper (a nod to my Big Picture make & take). This is my first time playing with Heather Bailey. WHOA. I love her paper now that I’ve got it in hand. Didn’t really understand draw of it on-line, but now that I’ve got it? I GET IT. Oh and PS- [...]

Ok, added more kits to etsy, got girls fed and bathed and the wee miss R is asleep. Miss E is watching a pony movie (and soon to be asleep as well), and I’m cleaning up the downstairs. Once that is done?
P-A-R-T-Y time!!! I love on-line crops. Since I’m a 99.9% at-home crafter the chance [...]
