Um…tomorrow is going to be here quickly
About the only thing I have done for our trip is what you see in this photo. I bought the kids a portable DVD player for the van and have it set up. Aside from prying Andrew out of the van and promising that he can watch Star Wars the whole way to Maine,… Read more

I’m lovin’ it!
I've been working with Creative Memories for almost a year now and still can't believe my good fortune. I seriously love working with CM and it's one of the best jobs I've ever had in the scrapbooking industry. And, as many of you know, scrapbooking companies work about 6 months ahead of time a lot of the time and… Read more

What was I thinking?
I've just been dilly-dallying along for the past few days. Thoroughly enjoyed Father's Day, doing some laundry, doing lots of sewing, going to the pool, and doing a bit of gardening. And, last night, it hit me. Dude, we're going on vacation in 3 days. THREE days!!!! And I had nothing done. Still don't.… Read more

Jumping through hoops
Tom's new hobby. Dog training. :) Better him than me, I say! Sawyer can now roll over on command, sit, stay, down, down with treats on his paws!!!!! and stay there with the treats until Tom comes back into the room, jump through the hoop, go to bed, fetch and drop it and I'm sure… Read more

From wonderful to wild
This will be my last post about weather. I promise. We've only had about 4-5 days of full sun since Memorial Day weekend. And three of those days WERE Memorial Day weekend. Sheesh. It just hasn't felt like summer at all. Yesterday, we had sunny skies by 9am after a scary overnight storm. Our… Read more

“Indoors, Indoooors, Innnndoooooors”*
*10 points for whoever can name the TV show that my title is from and which character said it! Not that you can use the 10 points for anything, but you still get them. ;) And the layout is made with the June Studio Calico kit. The title is, unfortunately, very appropriate. We are… Read more

I wish she was here
Libby and I laid out the blocks for the second quilt yesterday. If you look closely, you can see a bluish-green floral quilt peeking out underneath the edges of the blocks. It's a quilt that my grandmother made. As I've been working on these quilts, I've thought about my grandmother a lot. She used… Read more

Will summer ever arrive?
I now interrupt this crafty nerdiness blog for this question: Will summer ever arrive? Swimming lessons consist of the kids turning blue and shivering so violently that they vibrate the water in the entire pool. My mornings involve unpacking yet even more of the winter clothes that I packed away because the kids need long… Read more

Sewing + Paper = Wow
I am only about 10 years behind the rest of the scrapping world with this one, but I actually sewed on a scrapbook page. And, in my defense, I'm not a trendy person to begin with. I know my style and I pretty much stick to it. But, holy stitching, batman! I think I'm… Read more

I’m becoming a crafty nerd
And I'm almost giddy about it. Except when I think about it too hard and then I start to panic that I'll never remember how to use the left side of my brain again. Law degree, schmaw degree. I won't think about how much money and time that was that's now going to waste… Read more
