ventage tuesdays : no soup for you!
First, a quick explanation for Cindy and anyone else wondering what "ventage tuesdays" is all about. Angie, Barb, Steph, Em, and I started calling ourselves the Ventage Girls b/c 1) our lengthy daily email threads often involve venting (and sometimes ranting & raving) and 2) to make ourselves...
Very cool, Em.
And I had no idea you rode the Polar Express. How did I miss that?

Project Twelve!
Happy Friday! :) I'm super excited to tell you about a fun new partnership between Gossamer Blue and the super sweet and talented Davinie Fiero. The basic idea behind Project 12 is to create one 2-page layout every month. It's kind of like Project Life for those who can't actually commit to ...
My fave? The Best is Yet to Come.
I totally believe that.

January Shop Update
I've updated my shop with five new stamps for January - I wanted to have these up for sale at the start of the month but production and the holidays held it up just a bit. But here they are and YES!!! I truly believe that the best is yet to come! For all of us. The 2013 box is meant to be u...

Project Life all up in your face.
So, recently I was able to spill on the news of being selected for the Project Life Creative Team. Which was super awesome- but also tricky to talk about, because everything in me was screaming "BUT THERE'S MORE! EVEN MORE EXCITING THINGS!" but I had to bite my tongue. Nonstop. For weeks. But th...
Ah, August. It's always a little bittersweet for me. I really have to work at not having a sinking feeling of dread in my stomach leading up to the start of a new school year. It's a mourning process. I'm mourning my loss of freedom.

august twenty.twelve : intentions
August will be about movement. Physical movement. Emotional/mental movement. Steps forward. Remembering that sometimes a slight backward step is simply setting up the momentum to spring ahead. August will be about stillness. Continuing with a meditation practice, and a morning reading practic...
A good friend swears by the Chicago-style deep dish pizza recipe from Cook's Illustrated. It's delish!

Cards are the only thing I find more terrifying than stamps.

Highs: Super Fun Race Hilarious pre-race antics - including our GPS taking us to this totally random little dirt patch instead of our parking lot - and comments like "oh, right, this is the way - there's another car full of white people!" (meaning people wearing white. we're all politically cor...

The Art of Fielding
I remember the first book that made me publicly cry. It was Bridge to Terabithia, and I was in elementary school and riding in the backseat of my parents car during summer vacation. Most recently, The Art of Fielding had the honor of sending tears down my cheek in a public setting. I finished...
Totally jealous.

CHA favorites...a mega post! ;)
I spent all day yesterday at CHA ogling over the newest product! I took a bunch of photos to share of some of my favorites. I apologize in advance for the wonky color. Every single booth had it's own light set-up...and I was not about to set my white balance in every booth. That would have take...
That first picture looks great! What a perfect day.

Costa Rica: Rain Forest
Here's part two of Costa Rica and one very excellent trip into the rain forrest. I wasn't really sure what to expect of the rain forest but it was gorgeous. And so photogenic... We spent a day at Tabacon in the hot springs which was an excellent way to enjoy the rain forest. The warm waterf...

a little luxury in the everyday...
Ever since the day that I walked into a lotions & potions-type store in 1994-ish, I’ve been hooked on personal care products. If it smells lovely, and feels lovely, I’m sold. So, when the folks at Dove® offered to let me try their new Dove® VisibleCare™ Body Wash, I quickly typed “yes please!” ...
Back for the second day in a row to say I really want to go back.

Costa Rica: Beaches
I didn't take many photos on our trip to Costa Rica but any I took just couldn't capture how beautiful it was. I thought I would share a few snapshots in two posts - beaches and then rain forrest. Here we go... Our first stop was Punta Islita, which was a gorgeous resort on the beach...
