I *love* Cosmo.

Cosmo Cricket is a long time love ‘o mine.  Their papers seem to be made for me. Why, I was at a scrapbook store (a rare thing- I happened to be about an hour away for other reasons and happened across it!) and found this Honey Pie line. It’s not new, but I sure don’t [...]

big thank yous.

My 8-week BPS class is now over, and I’m sad… but at the same time looking forward to some future ideas bouncing around that I’m working on. I want to take a minute to thank the companies that donated prizes that I gave away during class. I contacted seven companies that are in my “can’t craft without” [...]

beards, lilacs, and sunny days.

Well a few people have noticed that Jason has a beard. What’s up with that? Long story short- he’s been home on injury leave for a while now and is maintaining a beard that would be not ok were he working. (something about face masks getting proper seal against skin in fires? I forget.) He’s [...]

First up, if anyone wants to get me a present (to heck with the diet)…

Secondly- I was on my ‘amazon recommends’ (so helpful!) and I discovered [...]

willingly drug around… and a sweet treat

This weekend has strong chances of rain, so today I let the girls run me all over a few counties doing fun stuff. (zoo, old town Sac, a scrapbook store, lunch, a bakery, the gym, costco….)
We started at the zoo for several reasons. I wanted to do something fun and new with them + I needed 1 more [...]

uh…

 
yeah…

don’t mind me. I’m just here. Clawing my way up one side of my to-do list and back to sanity.

Or, at the very least a clean slate and creative time this weekend! (Sanity is over-rated anyhow)

March 17

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I sent Miss E off to school with a shamrock painted on her face… but forgot to photograph. Ah well, here’s a picture of a little green fairy/leprechaun riding Dumbo at Disneyland for some green eye candy…
