When it comes to trends, what goes around comes around. Here are a few products I spotted at the CHA summer trade show that hail from scrapbooking days of the not-too-distant past. I remember when slide mounts were all the rage in the early 2000s. Crate Paper debuted a fun new angle on this old ...

Each craft industry trade show has a few stand-out motifs..recurring images that trend across multiple product lines and manufacturers. The past couple of shows, mustaches have been EVERYWHERE, and they haven't gone away yet. But I think we may be turing a corner. Gradually shaving off the old m...

I've already done some ...

Ever since our dad dropped dead eating a pizza, dropping dead eating a pizza has been something all of us kids joke about happening to us. And by joke I mean we are all terrified. The fear (a few years ago) prompted me to lose weight, get healthier, and still be terrified. Then everyone got can...

It's been really cold and windy here the last few days. The wind has uprooted my herbs, fruit is flying off our trees like people throw fruit at bad comedians, and everything on our patio has been blown around. Even worse, our internet and cable keep flickering in and out. Oh the horror! Suki h...

Last week our Auntie Gertie passed away. She was our Nana's little seester. And, she lived a very long life. Also, she made a really good dessert with graham crackers and pudding. Nana and Auntie Gertie were good role models on how to be seesters and I am happy that they will be together again...

It's never been lost on me that my husband, Dustin, got all the qualities I love in him from his mother. His sense of humor, his compassion, his sarcasm, his love of food, his curiosity, his absolute devotion to family, his ability to persevere, and even his stubborn streak. There's no doubt i...

You know how I love to make jewelry? Well, here's my newest creation. I made it by using my Cuttlebug and the Cuttlebug quilling kits to die cut some mental flower parts and then colored the metal with alcohol ink. I then placed it on a pendant that I had hung beads and other doo-dads off o...
