For the past two months we’ve been battling all kinds of ailments in our little home and this past week offered little respite. The Bub had a deep and constant cough with a runny nose that wouldn’t quit. I’d actually been feeling on the mend and then I threw my back out lifting the sick kiddo onto the examination table last week … Continue reading
You may remember a few months back when I called for swappers to join our first annual holiday card swap. Well I’m happy to say that the swap was a success. Only one swapper ran into some issues and was unable to get her cards out the door on time. All the other swappers were timely, enthusiastic, and offered beautiful cards, heartfelt … Continue reading
Today I’m sharing a project I did last summer, for a client who was looking for a unique way to announce her pregnancy. She found the star cards I have listed in the shop and contacted me to see if I could do a custom order for her. She wanted to tweak the wording, change the colors and add a poem to … Continue reading

As fall sets in here in the Pacific Northwest, I feel this deeply ingrained urge to get myself organized; probably due to years and years of academic cycles leaving their mark. My blogging has become more frequent and less spontaneous over this past year and I’m now on the hunt for the perfect method of organization. With the help of other bloggers, … Continue reading

I know it’s early for this sort of thing, and most of you won’t be planning for the holidays for at least another month. I’m hoping there are a few of you out there … Continue reading
The best 6 dollars I’ve ever spent, that’s what I wanted to title this post, and it’s true. This 12″ by 12″ board of chipboard accent stickers has been the best craft buy of my creative life. You’ll be pleased to know that no one is paying me to say that, I’m not even getting any free stuff for this post. I’ve … Continue reading
Last week I was finishing up this perpetual calendar for a client. I had promised to ship the calendar on Friday, and on Thursday afternoon I was putting on the finishing touches. I simply had to edge the box with silver washi tape. When I was about 3 strips of tape away from completion, the roll ran out! Now I have quite a … Continue reading
Hello again! I’ve been out and about these past few weeks, travelling with friends and making sure my summer ends with a bang. The friends have left, sigh* and I’ve finally had a little time to start going through some pictures and get this little post together. I want to let you all know about a great paper store I ran across … Continue reading
I recently made a very quick and easy notecard set during my card making challenge. You may remember the “Thinking of You” cards from days 20-23. I was thrilled with how they turned out and so naturally I want to share the technique with you all. If you’re not a card maker, you may have to do a shopping trip for supplies, but everything … Continue reading
