going good!

Knee is feeling a little better. Still crazy tender and easily angered… but better. This is a lifelong thing I get to deal with. It really only acts up when I’m very active, and it’s dang near impossible to tell how much is too much. Good news? I know the early signs of a flare [...]

can you say ouch?

Running a bit crazy behind schedule all thanks to the mystery flare up. Am going to work up a crafting kit for me to do in-bed, and share all about that. Keeping my leg up and slightly bent is my most comfortable position. I’ve been here before friends- and with rest and not messing about with [...]

edited to add: book winner from post last week is MARDI. E-mail me to claim your prize! (mflaum@comcast.net). More prizes to come…
I’m working on a page right now with Kimberly Poloson’s new love letters line- so beautiful.

This is what I have so far. Problem? I have to change out my bobbin thread in the sewing [...]

not the lite.

here’s a glimpse into my wacky world at this moment…

This is a photo I took quite a while back for promos for my big picture class that starts in about 2 weeks. (or less?) 1 week! NEXT THURSDAY!!! Just got an e-mail from myself about Recipes, and I’m SO excited to start this class. I’m gathering some prizes [...]

sorry, but no.

Hi. I’m sorry, but I can’t allow mommy to sit and write a nice long blog post today. Nope. I’ve got teeth coming in and I need her attention. I’m going to be happy only if I have everything I want when I want how I want.

But I am wearing this CUTE shirt that will [...]

Know what makes me smile?

So I’m working hard, feeling a tad overwhelmed, and working harder. Don’t get me wrong- I love all the hats I wear and jobs I do… but today has been a rough one. So then I see that the photos on www.fiskarscrafts.com got updated today for our design team.

and I have to tell you- seeing [...]

come on in!

I’m here… just not here. If that makes any sense.

That’s my desk when last photographed. In a moment I’ll be under it cleaning out chipboard central… and probably doing a give away (as well as drawing a winner for my last prize!) As you can probably tell I have about five too many projects currently [...]

game day.

my girls.

How cute are these girls??? I know I’m biased, but still. I have a whole series from this shoot that turned out cute, and I can’t wait to get them developed.
Well, seeing as how I want to catch a few hours sleep… I’ll save a bigger post for tomorrow. Now I’m off to sleep. [...]

reading time

we do a lot of reading time here- Elizabeth especially loved having her aunt here to read on-demand. Good times.

Gotta love a 20min or less layout. This one used up some left overs I had on the table. I’ve got a bunch of paperwork/e-mail to finish up so I can go PLAY over [...]

sister pics

One evening while my sister was here we put on full make up and did a quick photo shoot. I always try to either have a (distant) background, or if it’s close make sure it’s neutral and won’t take away from the headshot style pic.

It was fun taking pictures of an adult subject for a [...]
