Sewing + Scrapbooking = Happy

We are so exciting
That title is totally tongue-in-cheek. We are not exciting at all! Our weekend plans consist of cleaning out a closet, eating a ton of tomatoes and going to the library. LOL!

I hadn't felt like that in ages and couldn't really figure out why I had woken up so stressed out. And then Elizabeth said, completely out of the blue, "Wow, it's just the… Read more

And so it has begun
The school year has started. And this year was a big one. Andrew started first grade this morning and is now in the "big school" with the girls. Huge, big deal for him. And for me, if I'm truly honest. My baby is in 1st grade and it is, without a doubt, a bittersweet feeling.… Read more
