Marjolein, So glad that you like it and understand. I have this friend, Nan, who is always willing to go shopping with me and when I am hurting she will go for me. We both love almost all of the Ranger products and so it is difficult to hold onto my wallet. Thanks for commenting so quickly.

A Chill to the New Year

We have been going through a very tough cold spell for the Pacific Northwest. I notice it especially in how dry my skin has become and how often I reach for the hand cream. It rained yesterday. Not a down pour but the typical Seattle drizzle and I was so... Continue reading

Each year for the past six years I have chosen one little word to embrace and take note of in my life. This tradition has brought about more change and growth than one would imagine. I was a bit worried this year as it took quite some time for my... Continue reading

This layout is all about the fun I had recently with a young neighbor of mine. She let me know that she did not consider herself to be able to craft. I had a feeling that she could and so asked her if she would like to make a paper... Continue reading

Thanks. My hands are back to liking me and if I can stay away from the craft knife I might be able to create more. I am loving not hurting and being able to do these on the computer. Guess I will end up being digi after all.
