The tweaking begins

Fellow blogger Leslie (aka The Crooked Stamper) refers often to what she calls "creative avoidance" - avoiding mundane tasks (like housework or grocery shopping) in favor of doing something creative. Over in the Sue-niverse (thanks again for that, Lauren) that... Continue reading

A clean start (sort of...)

I've never really been on board with spring cleaning - I always get the urge to purge and scrub and organize as I'm putting the holiday decorations away... I've been doing just that for the past couple of weeks, as... Continue reading

So then I thought...

...that this was an appropriate post for a Sunday and I really should sit down and type it out. But then I thought that I had absolutely NO food in the house, only enough half-and-half for (maybe) one more cup... Continue reading

It's the Little Things

As I was going about my business today, I noticed a few things - all of them small: I decided - spur of the moment - to stop into the salon at Walmart (I KNOW!) and let the cute little... Continue reading

Remember this box/tutorial? Apparently someone somewhere saw it and I was asked to write a tutorial for Splitcoast Stampers for their Holiday Tutorial Blitz! The tutorial went live today! Here's a link to it: Flip Top Box I altered the... Continue reading

No - not yet! Not really! I know it's a-comin', but I'm not ready... Fortunately, the snow (for now) is restricted to the fake stuff on cards! That's the current (almost expired) challenge for the Jingle Belles. I'm skating in... Continue reading

This "Boo"quet's for you

Halloween is coming soon - hooray! I used to not-so-much like that particular holiday, but the decorations and other surrounding "stuff" have improved greatly in recent years, so now it's one of my faves! Remember this guy? It would seem... Continue reading

Here we go again...

Hi, anyone who's managed to find me again (or for the first time), since I've been absent for so long! Busy, crazy summer! You, too? I've really missed making things! I spent A LOT of time purging and organizing, and... Continue reading

I'm not really sure what the translation of that Japanese word is (the title of this post), but my ex (who is multi-lingual) used it in instances where I'd be likely to say "sheesh" or "gee willikers" or something along... Continue reading

Welcome to July!

Soooo - we went to see Magic Mike and it was fun (if somewhat risque) and I did, in fact, get some popcorn. It fell far short of the anticipated yumminess (exactly the same as what I get at Target... Continue reading

Five For Friday

(image source) Long time, no see, right? As we've all heard before (Mary Engelbreit, I believe): "Life is just so daily!" Moving on, then... Lately I've been percolating (as I tend to do when there's a lot of "stuff" on... Continue reading

Marvelous is a bit of an overstatement, but it's a "better" sort o' day, so that counts, right? Miss you muchas, chica!

Happy For No Reason

When I was out in Utah a few weeks ago I saw this quote on my daughter's vision board: When you're happy for no reason, you bring happiness to your outer experiences rather than trying to extract hpappiness from them.... Continue reading

Happy Mother's Day!

My own mother is off on new adventures unfettered by the bonds of this mortal existence, so I didn't make her a card, but I did make one for Greg's mom: Stamps: Stampin'Up! Fresh Vintage and Messages for Mom; Ink:... Continue reading

A Little Diversion...

I really can't justify any time that I spend doing anything except sewing (for work), since I'm a couple of weeks behind, but I took some, anyway... I can feel myself teetering on the verge of depression, so creativity is... Continue reading

Home again, home again...

Hey! How's the weekend going so far? I know we're just a few hours into it, but still - TGIF!!! I've been working on a variety of things, as you'll see in this post - a little organizing, a little... Continue reading

Well alrighty, then!

It seems like it's been a couple of forevers since I did anything creative, let alone posted here! I had some time last night to play with some of my stamps, though, so I made THREE cards! Well, more accurately,... Continue reading

Just Jinglin' Along...

Okay - I promise my most excellent promise - this will be my last Christmas card post for a couple of weeks! It's just that the current Jingle Belles challenge was so completely irresistable, that I HAD to make a... Continue reading

Stamp Organization and Index Update

Since I've been moving my studio/workroom from the attic to the main floor, I've also been re-thinking some of the ways I store, organize and index my "stuff". I thought that I had shared my new stamp storage method, but... Continue reading
