I wish that I had been a better blogger this last almost two months. I wish that I could explain everything to everyone about every reason why in a way that was eloquent, coherent, truthful and just to everything that has gone on, but I don't know how. I wish that I could make my allergies go away. I wish that I could make the stress my husband deals with every day less. I wish that I could find a way to express how much he means to me and how much he is my rock, my foundation and my... Continue reading

I admit it- I am somewhat obsessive in my personality. When I like something, I can turn from a somewhat normal gal into a complete fan-girl nerd in approximately 2.5 seconds. And I will most likely love the object of that fan-girl nerdness forever. so without further adeiu- I bring you my love of Jeff Bridges. He is often referred to as the most under-appreciated actor out there, but all that changed for him this last Sunday night when he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role of Bad Blake in Crazy Heart. As Bad Blake, he... Continue reading

Sharing a few layouts today that I have made. I've been so inspired by all of these fresh, beautiful light and airy spring colors that I haven't been able to stop creating with them! Turning 5 at Disneyland: I have been so incredibly inspired by Stacy Cohen lately. Everything she makes is pure art. What I love in particular about Stacy's work is the absolute polished to perfection details that she adds. You look at her layouts and know that she has loved every second of creating them and pouring her heart into all the little details. When I made... Continue reading

Catalyst #103 went live today on Creative Therapy, to tell about when you first fell in love. And that one is an easy one for me. I fell in love on July 6th, 1998. The day that I met Drew. Journaling reads: July 6th, 1998 was the most important day of my life. The day I walked into a music store & walked out in love for the very first time. That day my breath was taken away by the most handsome & talented boy I had ever met & I was smitten. I played giddily in puddles with a... Continue reading

With the crazy bout of Prescott Arizona weather we've been having the last 2 months, I am ready and itching for Spring to be here and to stay. For this spring I am loving and dreaming of... Lush bright green leaves and grass and beautiful flowers starting to bloom. Chasing butterflies with Roslyn and using up all the lovely spring inspired scrapbooking goodies from companies like Maya Road, and Dear Lizzy for American Crafts. Pure Ice nail polish in all my favorite spring colors... at only $2 a bottle you can't go wrong in having a large collection of colors... Continue reading

is definately where you want to be! We have some amazing things going on starting with the absolutely GORGEOUS monthly kit "Sew Sweet": I was so excited when this beauty arrived that I had to drop everything and immediately get to work. Here are my designs for the month. :) One of my favorites in this kit was the measuring tape paper by Cosmo Cricket and I wanted to use it as much as possible. To add some texture, dimension and interest, I rolled the ends of it to reveal the backside and create that dimension and texture. With this... Continue reading
